Anyway I totally agree that we NEED a global search tool.
With such a powerful device like N900 with pleny of storage it should be quite obvious to have one program like that.

For battery usage we could implement an option to index only when connected to the power/USB cable.
But other OS/phones (like Iphone) have found the solution.
Indeed it is really strange that there is no Linux good search app like google desktop on windows platform and that no Guru programmer have coded something similar (even not so fast).

More over I don't understand why we don't take full use of the internal DB where are stored email, sms, contacts etc, making also a local search much more complete (example in company, notes field etc). We need more option to fully configure how and where we want to search.

So, at the end , PLEASE NOKIA IMPLEMENT THIS FUNCTION BETTER and AS SOON AS POSSIBLE !!
