But yes, I agree with you. The authors of those search engines should come up with a common solution for all (without bombing this list if possible :-). Maybe a generic interface that can easily be replaced or whatever, but we should have live search available for applications, and use that in gnome-search-tool, nautilus and any other app that needs it. -- Rodrigo Moya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
