Hi,

here is my new Application.
Scout - Search Contacts, Conversations and Calendars.
You can search for text in Contacts for names, nicknames
usernames, addresses or phone numbers.
Calenderentries with summary or description text.
And text in your conversations.
It is currently in extras-devel. It may crash sometimes
but is mostly useable.

An example is shown in the screenshot for searchtext "test".
The search result category is indicated by the different icons
on the left side (contacts, calender, sms). I use two different
kind of icons for sms and chat conversations and for each
two different icons (with and without the blue arrow)
to distinguish received and outgoing messages.

Selecting a search result has different actions:
-opens a contact details dialog for contacts
-opens the calendar app for calendar entries (agenda view)
-opens a new window with the full message text for
conversations.
I wished I could open the conversation app for the conversation
search result, but I couldn't find a way to do so.



This is my entry for the coding competition. I want to announce it
here and now, first, to collect some feedback and second, because
I know there is a some demand for such an app.

Enjoy,
test and
give feedback.

regards
nicolai
