I don't think this is simply a technical issue. It's first and foremost a
design issue. When I have opened a file, then you can know that the file is
of some interest to me. The fact that I haven't open a file, doesn't prove
that it isn't interesting, but you just can't know. I regard Zeitgeist is a
logger that enables applications to learn from my actions, not as a general
indexer like Tracker. In order for the dash and lenses to be effective, I
think it should primarily display files I've shown some interest in.
Similarly, the web lens should only display sites I've actually visited, not
intermingle results from Google, since I haven't shown any interested in all
those other sites.
I was suggesting that when you search for files, then the results from
Zeitgeist would be retrieved and shown first as you have actively opened them
at some point. The more times you open it, it's importance should increase and
the dash should be able to take care of this fact.
Files which have never been opened arn't rated on relevancy scale.
They are just
kind of files which show up because the user wants files which match this name.
Totally agree with that vision, that's how the revelancy of the query
should be IMHO.
I think that ignoring non opened filed on the system (or rather, not
known opened file, because you maybe opened a file on your usb key at
some point?) suggested as a solution for revelancy isn't right. For
instance, you can argue that zeitgeist should then forget about files
that I didn't open in the last 3 years? Why this file should then show
and not the one I created on a windows double boot, or just before
installing ubuntu (which can be only few weeks ago)? I guess that still
having the data is interesting, but of course, it will be shown way
after more relevant (and recently opened) ones.
