Whatever it is, I wondered at that time why would anyone want to use Spotlight/SIS for anything else than find information that "we" as users create. The other help files is the responsibility of the OS and hardware vendor and there are UI issues here as well
Anycase, if we ever want to use Beagle for "extra" things, it could be done and should be easy as well technically and aesthetically. We are all used to see "sponsored results" at the top or the side of search results pages. Beagle could follow the same layout of putting help/utilities at the side or at the top. But its main job should be to index "my" information as a priority. That is what I think...

So I was tossing around this idea last night of a Beagle functionality but I'm not sure if it is what we are aiming for. I was looking into having Beagle index installed Help files (DocBook XML format). I think this touches on a bigger issue...is Beagle to find my files or just in general, help me. For example, if I ask beagle how to "Play DVD" or "Burn CD" it could bring up a launcher to the app to perform the task and a link to the help file on how to do it. But if the point in using Beagle is just to find your files, these results could just get in the way, and would take time away from indexing more important data like mail. Anyways, I was just curious on peoples thoughts on the matter. -- Joe Gasiorek _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list Dashboard-hackers gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
