... And having read through it, it looks like a very interresting idea. A 
indexer that updates its index as files as change, both content and meta data 
indexes, and time tracking as well, with a generic interface available to any 
application. Live updated result collections, like kmail search folders. I'd 
love for KDE to have something like that, but it seems to need kernel level 
support for the realtime updating of the indexes.

Nothing that is just done within the release of cause, but it sure looks 
nice :)
