Story: KDE to include Google-type desktop search

There's no mention in this article of Apple's 'Spotlight' technology. This was unveiled a few months ago in the next version of Mac OS X that will be available at the beginning of next year. It offers hard drive and application level searching with sub-second response times. http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/spotlight.html
It seems coincidental that the Linux guys have suddenly jumped on the bandwagon after Apple's technology was showcased at their recent developer's conference. Both KDE and Microsoft's attempt at this is at least 2 years behind Apple's.
