who knows how's xesam these days? is it still written in python? do
search engines implement the xesam query spec?

another action plan would be copying the (Gtk|Nautilus)SearchEngine code
into libegg and then reuse it in gnome-search-tool. or directly make the
search engine API in gtk+ semi-public (which, I guess, would make
Nautilus maintainers quite happy :-)).
