actually medusa, the nautilus search mechanism, is more powerful than that of 
the gnome search tool. It has problems and needs love but could be very 
easily added back to nautilus. A ui already exists in the existing nautilus 
code base for search so adding this back is not that hard. Benefits of this 
include saving search results as folders in the favorites directory, be able 
to do any action nautilus can do on any file directly, consistency in ui etc.

This should be the long term goal, all major file browser/shells have search 
facilities (finder, explorer, i think even konqueror).

Im not saying this needs to be done now, but it would be really nice in the 
future.
