Hmmmm I dont know if it should be in the overlay searchbar I dont think
owen and the other devs want to make it like Gnome Do or the deskbar
applet..etc. Id say when the Ubuntu desktop devs get at it they will
just port the MeMenu for Gnome-Shell but thats just my thought. The
desktop team still havent talked much about the plans yet but we all
have ideas for what we want so it will be a nice discussion. To answer
your question its doable but I wouldnt like it there myself.
