I understand (and even agree) with that strategy, regardless GNOME is following it or not. But I would like the user can choose their search/ indexer application rather than having to stick to one to avoid messing a GNOME install. That's a bit... how to say?

Which I find is a good approach, but choosing/selecting "that tool" needs to be an easy step and fully customizable.
