As Far As I Know, there is no "global search" on n900.
Each app has its own search function, like Contacts or Conversations
Usually you open the app and start typing with the hardware keyboard and some kind of search will occur

Asking the other way round: What would you like to search for, and why?

You're meeting a group of friends but you're going to be late and the guy organising it isn't in your contacts list. You don't remember if you got his details in an SMS, email, calendar invite, etc. On the iPhone (much as I hate to make this kind of comparison - I don't think they're usually helpful), you swipe to the left-most desktop and start typing his name. Instantly, every item on the phone is displayed with that text in it - every SMS, calendar entry, email, note, etc. Clicking the item opens it in the native app.
Before I ditched the iPhone for the N900, I used this a few times a week so I can definitely see the attraction.

its not only an iphone thing, its more like the "new generation interface" standard, that maemo (so nokia) doesnt have the time to do.
maybe there will be an 3rd party app someday.
but AFAIK there isnt something like full device search in N900.

Incidentally, on the N900 there's no reason why such a search should be limited to contacts, emails, SMS - we've got a proper filesystem so let's use it!

Though if you plan to install it, disable extras-devel after that.
It doesn't search *in* the files though. Tracker has disabled this function by default (and in mails and contacts too).

Yeah, that'd do it...
I have bought a Nokia n900 recently and I am new to this community. Can anyone tell me how I can search in my device? something like windoes7 instant search.
thanks
