[Fwd: Re: old search interface bugs]

[Simon Porter <hailstorm fairadsl co uk>]

Hi,

I put the question below to Curtis. I don't have any spare time today to 
work on bugs. I'm trying if I can to help rid the Nautilus bug list of 
old bugs. Please feel free to discuss or take action on the bugs 
mentioned below. Anything remaining I will try and clear up myself later 
on this evening or tomorrow.

Cheers,

Simon

I assume you mean Nautilus's search interface.  Most of Medusa's bugs
are attached to the DB, indexer, and idle daemon, and I will close them
when I have replaced them with gnome-metadata.

I propose we remove all Medusa code from Nautilus an close the majority
of the bugs.  The fact is, search was only in Nautilus for a short
time.  Medusa never ran with Nautilus 2.x.  Nautilus 2.x will not
compile if Medusa is installed.  People are making an effort to maintain
the Nautilus-Medusa code without testing that it truly works.  My
efforts to get Search to run failed because Medusa is not a service
anymore, the search code is GNOME 1.4, and the UI will never be
accepted.  The unstable version of Nautilus force search to operate
using new features.  We simply must start again. 

I think every bug assigned to rebecka eazel com can be removed since
they address bugs either don't exist in the backend anymore, or because
we could never reimplement the old search UI.

Removing the dead Medusa code will fix some of these issues.
