maybe sherlock tries, but then it doesn't try very hard. you can search on
stuff like creation date, file size, file type, has a custom icon yes/no,
is locked yes/no ... that's exactly the kind of stuff I *don't* know when
I'm looking for something. how would I know the file size of "that invoice
I've sent to ... you know, the guy I was doing this poster for ... what was
his name again ..."

in other words, it's basically useless.
