How can it be a general statement? Desktop search is pretty clearly
defined in my eyes.

To make things clear, let me put things a bit on the edge: "We want
Spotlight (C) functionality in Gnome. We want it in a pervasive way
not just grafted on.".

Seriously; look through the Spotlight documentation (there's a great
deal actually). Come back and say this in not well defined.
