The general problem with search-based approaches to the desktop problem is that people expect mind-reading from what is ultimately a very limited algorithm. Then they get mad because the search algorithm doesn't have the associations that are in their head to categorize and index things and it doesn't turn up the results that they think it should. If I had a dollar for every time I've explained why a search isn't returning the results that the user thinks it ought to, because they are a human being, and not a dumb pile of boolean logic...
