I believe the logic used by the GNOME applications in question is that 'users do not care where their files of type BLAH are, they are loading an application to play Music/view photos/watch videos and they need to be shown their Music, Photos, and Videos, regardless of where they are.
That was the MS-Windows Search attitude when they introduced the new search function in windows 7. "Cept, about that time many users also got NAS drives, which MS refused to search -- only allowing indexes of NAS drives to be included in search if they ran MS-Server. Of course it gets more interesting pushing users to put their content in the clouds where they can't easily index it unless they have their cloud provider index it for them -- no privacy issues there. Would really would have been useful is if any of the linux-search apps served their content via the published MS-syndicated search protocol, then those linux search apps would have been useful for people running linux as servers for Win-desktops as well as providing MS's semantic desktop that KDE sounds like it is offering. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
