This would be cool, yes. But before you start, maybe we should agree on 
a common find:/ syntax and functionality to guarantee uniform user 
experience. I was thinking about adding sub-scheme support sometime to 
take advantage of tracker's categorisation, like this:
find:video:/my+birthday
and explicit wildcard support to filter filenames:
find:/report+physics/photon*.pdf
and perhaps to define query string to allow for more fine-grained search 
options:
find:/report+physics/photon*.pdf?before=20061203&after=20061109
What do you think? Maybe even a small find-uri library would be in order...

Screenshots are up, before looking into that screencast thing I should 
polish up my code a bit so the impression is not that of a ridiculously 
slow front end ;)
