I just updated the Live api draft at <a href="http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/WasabiSearchLive" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/WasabiSearchLive</a>. Please have a look and comment here or on the wiki. About libbeagle "compatibility": I think that the suggested api is equivalent with libbeagle (in the sense that they can implement each other). Atleast regarding the searching aspects of the operations - the libbeagle api seems tailored towards communicating with the beagle daemon (which makes perfect sense), but many of the abstractions does not make sense as such in dbus centered search api... Cheers, Mikkel
