Just look at Spotlight on OSX, Gnome-do on Linux, and yes the desktop search feature of windows 7 works fairly well

I believe that the number of things that it'd have to index on the N900 would be small enough to where it's not taxing on the system (ex: contacts, installed applications, bookmarks), not necessarily files (though I suppose it could be expanded to mp3,images,etc?)

Hmm.. I might have to brush up on some Maemo development to get this done..
