I completely agree with this. I would really like to see search reintegrated 
into nautilus instead of having a seperate tool as we currently do. I think 
an ex-eazel employee is hacking on medusa and trying to get it to work with 
gnome2 and nautilus. perhaps we will see this functionality readded in the 
future.

This is tricky, I personally would really like how nautilus handles removable 
media, if only disks were automatically mounted when inserted like on the mac. 
This sort of works right now if you use magicdev, unfortunately pc floppies 
tend to not support this functionality. This needs alot of thought i guess.
