Yes it is more powerful than Google Desktop Search because you can store
any kind of relations between pieces of data like :
1) This file talks about John
2) John is my boss
3) This file was an attachment to this e-mail

KDE4 will starts slowly with this new technology with simple stuff like
tagging and searching. It is important that the functionality works well
without impeding your work and scale without an excessive burden.
Analyzers have to be written for all the different types of files and
data. More innovative stuff will certainly comes when the fundations are
laid down properly.
