Unless it's really REALLY compelling and fast, I don't want my source
code in any kind of database, at least by default.  We should leave
this to IDEs.

The important files to index are word processor documents, graphic
files, PDFs, web browser downloads.  Recent files could be used for
this with a bit of work (i know Firefox would need a patch at least).
