What i hope to get is a tool for "performing (global) desktop searches", see my first post. It's not like I love google either (hence my question for alternatives), but when it comes to searching for information, that's just what they're really good at ;-) I mean a tool that can search the whole device (contacts, text files, filenames, e-mails, text msgs etc.) for any given string of characters. Isn't anybody else missing that on Maemo? I've been looking around for this for a while, but all I found was the syllabus of a "Desktop search hack fest", which seems to not have produced any installable outcome yet :-) Cheers Ben
