It seems to me that every major OS story these days has to do with the latest and greatest search mechanism. When did the search function become the killer app?
Call me crazy but 98% of the time I know where my stuff is, and when I don't, a simple search finds what I'm looking for. If I'm looking for a file on my computer I don't want my search tool searching emails, IMs, the web, my sock drawer, etc. It just seems like overkill.
I also think this is just nurturing already bad habits. I can't tell you how many times I've
dealt with the "Just save it wherever you are" type user. We need to try and teach better
organization of files and folders, not "The wizard or the puppy dog will find my sh!t for me!"
I know most of you will say "Nobody forces you to use it" but I just think that all this development time would be more wisely spent on something more important like security for example.
Just my .02
