They've also added support for one of the main features we were talking
about with our plugins/metadata: instantaneous, up-to-date searches.
Basically, they catch any modification to the FS and pass it on to the
search feature, which indexes only what has been changed. Then, all
open "search folders" are automagically updated. Any new search is
lightning-fast, but no matter when the search is run, it's automatically
up-to-date.
This gives me a bit of deja-vu, because the way users will be treating
their data now sounds a bit like one of the more database-like features
of reiser's "future vision" paper. It amounts to one of gmail's
slogans: Search, don't sort. Why have a folder hierarchy at all, and
go to the trouble of setting up and sorting such a tree, when you can
have the OS automatically sort things into "folders" based on what you
need at the time?
