Maybe, instead of cramming the results all in one widget, we could use 
tabs to display the results of different searches:

+-------+
| Files | Music | Movies | Amazon.com
|       +-----------------------------------+
| foo  3K ...                               |
| bar  5K ...                               |
| ....                                      |

That way it would be very easy to add the results of more search agents, 
since all you would need was another tab. Also, the search agents could 
define a suitable layout to present their results (i.e. presenting the 
album cover for music, display local local theaters for movies etc.)
