Does anyone know if file searching will eventually be implemented from the
overview?  I know that there has been some development to add a zeitgeist
search, but it does not really seem to be doing anything at the moment.
Also, zeitgeist and a general file search are slightly different things
because I have to interact with a file first before it gets into the
zeitgeist DB.  Right now actually getting to my files is the slowest
activity in Gnome-Shell. I am in no way suggesting that a file search should
replace Nautilus.  I still find Nautilus important, but when I know exactly
which file I want a search tool like Gnome-Do or Synapse gets me there
faster.  It seems natural (to me) to have this in the overview.  I would
personally prefer a full-text search tool like tracker be integrated because
I am a research mathematician and have tons of articles to sort through, but
I would definitely settle for a simple file name search.
