[Bug 337000] Re: GMail (Google Contacts) and Pidgin Plugins don't index contacts by Username/Email Address

 

Just a thought....

Should we really be forcing the user to assign aliases for all the
Pidgin contacts he wants to pull up? (I have hundreds)

Also, this may be a broader issue. It sounds like a very good idea to
have some flexibility in accessing items. If an item has multiple
legitimate ways of being accessed, it would be great if Do allows for
that access to happen.

Maybe in a future architectural revision, something like this could be
incorporated. I can see some exciting use cases for this: If I have some
images indexed, wouldn't it be great to pull up some images by their,
say, size (1440x900, for eg.), or any other appropriate attribute. Maybe
I'm getting a lil' ahead of myself, but Indexing Items by Multiple
Strings/Attributes sounds like it could increase Do's usefulness quite a
bit.

I think I'll add this as a Wishlist.
