Awesome! This is something that I've been thinking about ever since the first time I watched a progress bar crawl across the screen after choosing to search all source code for a string.
Of particular value, I think, would be a "front end agnostic" search API, that doesn't know anything about the UI that might present it, can be queried from a workspace, etc. This because there are a lot of ways to present search functionality to users. With a nicely decoupled API, one could wrap it with WebServer and put it online, etc, which could be really lovely for folks looking for documentation.

Hi,
I am implementing a miniature version of Google to facilitate the searching on source codes in Squeak. I had been able to construct an index which contains all the keywords of source codes in Squeak. Next, I will develop an algorithm to improve the efficiency to search all these keywords in the index and then a simple search UI will be there to provide code searching facility to all Squeak users.
Thanks.
