Sorry, I don't answer to your question but I add some quick
commentaries.

I dislike tabs: "all files", "documents", etc. because some translations
will make tabs very larges and so the window too...
It isn't easy to see all the results at once, every time you have to
look at each tab... I prefer how BEST works: all results in one page
divided in numerous parts.

"Previous 20" and "Next 20" should be replaced by "Previous" and
"Next" (or/and by icons) and "20" should be only an option set by the
user.
(In Glade, it is unclear to what these buttons act on, if they are for
all the tabs, they should be placed above tabs)

What do you plan to add as file details? You should do something similar
to "Advanced Search" to let users hide these informations.

What will be "Advanced Search"?

"Search" word is dancing at the top of the window :-)
An icon like the one in Rhythmbox should be added in the search field,
it also bring an easy way to clear the field.
