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...
Hehe, I'm involved in a big search standardisation effort already, see
http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/WasabiAbout :-D Wasabi releases a public api+spec proposal tomorrow, so if you are interested, you arrive at the right time :-)
In due time (when everybody implements Wasabi interfaces) I think using the wasabi user search language (
http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/WasabiUserSearchLanguage
) an uri like
find://<wasabi user search>
would be the correct approach even though the query is unlikely to classify as a valid uri.

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 ;)
