Subject:Delay or Lag Between Sending Index Event and Google Desktop Actually Indexing It

Hi fellow Google Desktop API developers,

I send Google Desktop an event to index my data. The problem is, sometimes Google indexes the data immediately, such that doing a Google Desktop search right away finds the data, but other times Google Desktop might take 5, 10, 20, or even 30 seconds or longer to index the data such that it can be found in a search.

I can imagine that this is expected behavior and that Google Desktop queues up indexing requests and then processes them when the computer is "idle"; however, I really want this data indexed now, because my application needs to be able to find that data when the user searches for it.

Is there a way to tell Google Desktop, "Index this event NOW"?

If not, I humbly request that functionality be added as a flag on the Send function or exposed in some other way.

Thanks! Devin
