Drake nailed it here.

I have no problem with an alternative, lightweight browser that
embodies the functionality we have now in Nautilus - a
Scrollkeeper-generated list of docs, indexing-to-come. But if we want
to go anywhere with this discussion, we need a hacker to build the
thing. That's not easy, which is why I've ended up doing significant
parts of gnome-db2html2 and 3 myself (and if anyone has seen my code,
you understand what a bad idea that is :-)
