In my opinion, it should be seen as only the "search phase", it's about
storing how the user interacts with his computer, currently this information
is just wasted. The contextual linking will be efficient only if the
applications you use store this information.

Storing the context is always a good idea but not easy.<br>

abstract = {With increasing storage capacities on current PCs,
searching theWorld Wide<br>
Web has ironically become more efficient than searching one’s own<br>
personal computer. The recently introduced desktop search engines<br>
are a first step towards coping with this problem, but not yet a<br>
satisfying solution. The reason for that is that desktop search is<br>
actually quite different from its web counterpart. Documents on the<br>
desktop are not linked to each other in a way comparable to the
web,<br>
which means that result ranking is poor or even inexistent, because<br>
algorithms like PageRank cannot be used for desktop search. On the<br>
other hand, desktop search could potentially profit from a lot of<br>
implicit and explicit semantic information available in emails,
folder<br>
hierarchies, browser cache contexts and others. This paper
investigates<br>
how to extract and store these activity based context information<br>
explicitly as RDF metadata and how to use them as well as
additional<br>
background information and ontologies to enhance desktop search.},<br>
