The default search domain for Best is "Local" (or "Neighborhood" or
something like that).  This prevents your private search terms from
being shipped over the network by default.

Look in beagle/Best/BestWindow.cs:Search().  There should be a
commented-out line that turns on Google and other non-local search
backends.

I'm not sure about this one.  Joe might know better.

Screenshot would be helpful.  I'm not seeing this.

For issues 2 and 3, you should probably open bugs in bugzilla.gnome.org.

Thanks a lot for your feedback Michael!
