I noticed an issue today related to the problem of indexing files to make them searchable in Unity: I have a laptop at work and a desktop at home that are both synced via Ubuntu One. If I decide to reorganise files on one computer, Ubuntu One will execute the same reorganisation on the other computer, but on the second one, I'll lose access to the files via the Unity Dash. (In my case I have documents for a course I'm teaching right now - tests, assignments, handouts, etc. - and again in the next semester, so I've added a date hierarchy to my folder structure.)
What's the current state of affairs? Will Unity update its file indexing, or will these files only make their way back in as I access them again from Nautilus? It would be nice to be able to move files around on synced computers without breaking the ability to search via the Unity Dash. (Now that I'm used to the dash, it feels like a huge pain to have to open up Nautilus and click my way through the folders!)
