The search engine is fed metadata other than the file >name. It then becomes a really, really powerful thing. You're right, if the metadata can be properly and swiftly indexed, being able to search with directions like 'a song longer than 2 minutes by kill hannah' would be very useful. However, all the implementations I've seen either required user input for metadata, were slow, or spent a lot of CPU usage indexing, none of which is acceptable. _________________________________________________________________ Get fast, reliable Internet access with MSN 9 Dial-up – now 3 months FREE! http://join.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200361ave/direct/01/ _______________________________________________ kde-usability mailing list kde-usability@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-usability
