I question it because I know where I put my stuff and I don't want the overhead of a process that has to index everything I put on the device and keep it up-to-date. My battery life is crap enough already & my N900 lags plenty as it is.

Application-level search (in email, lists of mp3s etc) is fine and necessary. I don't want an extra layer on top of that.

I don't object to having it available if other people are less organised than me, but personally I would disable it given the choice.

Hope that helps you see the non-obvious
