Fair enough Peter. But think of it this way: today everytime i connect my external hard disk to watch a movie, I can only see names. I might have searched for them before, but I've forgotten what those movies were about: their genre/rating etc. So I fire up chrome, and search again. Compared to that, even if I can't cache the results, but if i can fetch the results in real time, that still saves a hell lot of effort. Ofcourse, I'll have to wait a few seconds longer for each file, but still it saves a lot of time and effort in opening up chrome and typing it. Further, most of the time I want to watch a movie, I am lying down, and I don't want to use the laptop's (my laptop is 17in hp, which gets really hot) keyboard, so I want to work only with a mouse/touchpad. Then the effort of opening up chrome, typing imdb and movie name become all the more difficult :) (I know, I am super lazy)
Also, if the basics are available, the act of caching the result can be left configurable by the user - use it with permission from IMDb etc. So, let me refine my question even more: is there a way to invoke a Strigi-analyzer on demand (on file hover e.g.)? Or is there a way to generate content dynamically as part of a tooltip? Thanks a lot for your replies Regards, Srikanth S PS: I'll jump right into developing and doing things by myself, but I don't want to go through so much documentation and put so much effort of setting up an environment if this just isn't possible.
