I 100% agree with Marco.

And what I write below is not a counter-argument, just a problem that needs to 
be sorted out somehow.

The (only? :) ) problem with kickoff is that it mostly does show only 
applications inside, so people might find it strange that it returns non-
application results.

With Lancelot, that was not a problem (it has problems of its own) because it 
already shows a lot of different things, so the fact that the search results 
can even feed your kitten is not a surprise.


Cheerio,
Ivan

p.s. I almost got into the 'we need something completely new' mode of thought, 
but I don't want to go offtopic now. :)
