I think it would be great to show all results. From not attached disk's, too. So we can search e.g. on DVD/CD for backups we made. Maybe with a hint in t-s-t that the disk is not present. Is it possible to add a user-defined-label to each HDD/DVD/CD we index? E.g. "Photos07 - 2". So t-s-t can show something like: the picture is located on "Photos07 - 2"-DVD.
