I know that the Beryl Project is fading from existence, but I still couldn’t help myself when I saw this enormous chunk of it at the Smithsonian.

Finally! Perhaps one of the last major features that Beagle needs to match Spotlight and Windows Live Search. Integration into every file choice made in the Gnome environment has long been a dream of mine, and a little less than a year ago, this bug was filed with hopes of making that dream a reality. After lots of hard work, a rough cut of the patch has been committed to the gtk+ trunk, with plans to add missing features in time.
While it will still be some time before this code reaches a Gtk+ release (development releases for the next major series start in late April) its great to feel some awesome love from our friends over at Gtk, a special thanks to Federico Mena Quintero for really being the driving force that finally got this done. What great is that plans for using Beagle’s index to help GtkFileChooser already seem underway.
For any budding Gtk+/Gnome/Beagle hackers out their, this feature still needs a lot of love. A list of bugs/todos exists here, and if someone were to get the ball rolling on anything on that list, it would be a huge help!
And last, the obligatory (if unexciting) Screenshots:
