Deskbar is the application for global search. If the user wants to
search inside a particular folder, he can enter the query
in the nautilus search box.  What my idea is that, including a search
option in nautilus which uses desktop search
engines as background.

Here, what I meant to say is not thumbnailers. User can directly read
a page of pdf,
directly watch a video clip etc.,

I thought it works only for applications.. that's why I included this.

I think preload is a deamon that caches the loading properties of most
used applications only.. It effects only loading time.
but my proposal is read-ahead directory contents, file
properties...which effects the navigating time and performance

Nautilus already have button type display of the file path. But we
can't directly edit the path, if we are in button mode.
My proposal is If the user double clicks the buttons, the mode should
be toggled i.e the editable textbox should appear.

And thanks for your suggestions..
