in fact, your point means there will be two versions, KDE version &
other desktops version, which imo is not the best call.
however, after seeing the big number of the alternative solutions, &
the bigger number of the disagreements, i'm going to stop for a while
before i make sure whether i should continue or not.

We have to continue! I propouse using "Google's stuff" in order to have a "Standard" for all desktops and maybe linux distros...

By the moment I've created a "Fedora's search engine" for hermes, here is the official announcement:

Quoted Mail:

Hi! I've been working in a project called "Hermes" (For more information refer to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Hermes) The idea is to build a Feed Parser 
customizable by the user that notifies when there are important news... As an additional feature I wanted to integrate a FEDORA SEARCH BOX, so I tought I might
use the one that's in http://start.fedoraproject.org/ But I asked some users and I tried it discovering that that search box was a normal, common Google's Search Box.

In order to provide a "better information service" for the user, I tought that building a Fedora's Custom Search Engine based on Google might be useful in both ways to
HERMES and the http://start.fedoraproject.org/ webpage, so I built one.

I called it the "Fedora's Engine" and is built over Google's CSE Technology, it's multilanguage, UTF-8 encoded and it has two options: "Search the Whole web making emphasis in some sites" or "Search the Whole web"

The first option makes a search consult all along the web but it make emphasis in these sites:

http://goo.gl/cRfP (Click to see the list)

The second option give the same results as if you're searching on Google

The Search Engine has the "autofill" option enabled and it's fedora branded, as you may see I included all the Fedora relevant sites so 
this engine is a fully fedora search engine that we can use in the Hermes Project and also in the http://start.fedoraproject.org/ webpage.

The code is right here: http://fpaste.org/DmBz/

You can preview the working engine here: http://tinyurl.com/fedorasengine

And If you want to Download the ".html" file with the code, it's right here: http://ubuntuone.com/p/E04/

Hope you find this idea useful :)
