I like this idea - you don't need a separate utility to connect to beagled - you can fire a browser and search information from Beagle daemon - very intuitive for users.
Google Desktop Beta seems to use this approach. When you do a Google desktop search, it opens a web browser that sends requests to a localhost http server at port 4664. What are the concerns in having XSP running ?
