Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-utils
Since gutsy now includes tracker by default, I would suggest some work to be done to integrate indexers better in Ubuntu.
Currently, you can go to Places->Search for files and Applications-
The user has no way of knowing what the difference between these tools are.
I would suggest that "Search for files" be replaced with "Search".
This tool could be either gnome-search-tool or tracker search tool. However, to integrate it properly:
* gnome-search-tool should include a "Indexed" option to search using an indexer like tracker or beagle
* OR tracker-search-tool should include an option to search non-indexed locations
The latter is needed if the user wants to search a non-indexed location.
I'm not sure that "Indexed" is the best word to . Maybe other suggestions are better.
