I’ve been thinking about the proper way to handle fulltext searches in Zeitgeist. (E.g. searching through a file’s content instead of just searching for files by name.)

I think the best solution is to fall back to Tracker and other search engines for all text searches. This is especially important if we index things like GMail emails where we can’t possibly handle all searches ourselves without downloading and indexing all emails. (Instead, we would just index each email’s title and sender. If the user performs a search, we would use GMail’s API to find results on the fly.)

On that note, I’m planning on adding Google Documents and Flickr support. This probably wont happen until later this week or the beginning of next week

I’m sitting at the Coffee Bean with a large Ice Mocha. Things that I’ve been working on include:

1. The GNOME Journal article on Zeitgeist which is due today.
2. An improved version of the mockup which I posted last night. (The new mockup is still only on paper.)
3. I discussed this bug with Ketil.
4. I’ve been thinking about how to handle fulltext searches in Zeitgeist. I’ll post about that later.
5. I’ve bought the domain name natanyellin.com last week. I’m going to start redirecting theesylum.com to natanyellin.com later this week.

Time to get back to work. One large Ice Mocha down and one salad to go.
