not a bad start - I did see the traffic on freedesktop but was too busy 
to reply then

anyway big thing missing is service type (Files, Music, Emails etc)

dont understand all the talk about need for a separate lib/daemon

just use dbus object org.freedesktop.indexer and interface 
org.freedesktop.indexer.SimpleSearch

only one dbus server can own that object/interface at any one time so 
theres no need for conflicts and it will autoactivate the correct 
service (unless you have multiple services installed which will never be 
the case in practice)
