Re: Redesign of the Search module

Hi Marian,

thanks, many people have forgotten that we have the Search capability, 
so thanks for advertising it and reminding everyone that improvements of 
this clunky piece of UI are in progress.

I have questions rather than comments:

Will there still be the "Find" action on every node by default? Will 
modules that provide nodes need to do something to get this action on 
their nodes?

Will every module that provides a node in the Logical view need to do 
something special for Search? Will modules have to specify how a 
particular node will be searched, or will there be some default 
behavior, so that the module does not have to do anything?

What are the use cases for using the search request API? What are the 
situations when a module will want to do   new 
FileSearchRequest(myFileSet) ?

Thanks
Petr
