Bug Description

Binary package hint: tracker

the result of a search are not very usable - it is difficult to go through the list (why show a small number which must be scrolled through and then click on the 'next arrow' -- either use scroll or going through the result screen by screen (but then no scrolling!).

it would be useful to be able to sort the result on date, file type at least.

thank you!

I double the sort option, which is essencial.
A desktop search utility is essential for me, but sometimes retrieves a lot of hits.

An embebed document preview for common file formats (ex: PDF, openoffice, simple text, emails) would be great.

This is still an issue in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala). I have marked this as confirmed and added the remote bugwatch to bugzilla.gnome

Part of the request in comment #1 has been completed, now there are previews for a number of file formats. But please don't use this bug to discuss issues other than the request for sortable results.
