The strigi author started talks about a comon interface between search
systems, so apps can just use dbus to talk to whatever is running.

But I don't get what you want. You want 1 search engine, and all apps
using it? With a plugin interface? Lovely, but each of the current project
tries to BE that search engine. They all have a plugin interface, and try
to be a desktop-independend standard... So who's gonna have to abandon
their project? Are you going to tell them? And will they listen?
