Hi Teo,

My use case is pretty simple. I am using Google Desktop in my program to allow me to search both the local file system and in-memory data.

I index the in-memory data by creating an indexing event, giving Google Desktop a unique file name for the specific data because it needs this, even though the file doesn't actually exist, and then I call Send to send the indexing event to Google Desktop:

result = googleEvent->Send(EventFlagIndexable);

I provide a search box for my program's users to search for files or in-memory data (graphical objects my program displays to them), and they can drop a graphical object onto my "diagram", at which time I index that item using Google Desktop, passing in indexable content that my program maps to the graphical object's location on the screen and object pointer. Right after they drop the object, they can search for it, and sometimes Google has indexed the object right away and they find it, or sometimes Google hasn't indexed the data I sent, and they get empty results, even though they know that there should be at least one search hit: the object that they just dropped on the diagram and are looking at.

One solution would be for Google to add a parameter to the Send function referenced above to tell Google whether it can lazily index the data or whether it should index it now, at this instant. (You could create a new interface, call it IGoogleDesktopEvent2, and make a Send2 function that does it, for example).

Please let me know if this makes sense to you and what you think can be done.
