Spotlight just uses a table/tree.  This is pretty different, because
each category can display things differently.  In this mockup, for
example, mails are rows, but images are little boxes.

Apple did not invent dividing things into groups with headers ;-)

One nice thing about this mockup is that the match actions are in the
sidebar on the left; you select the match and then click on the action
you want to perform (set as background, open in gimp, etc).  This gives
us more room to show matches than the current search prototype (best).
