gmail searching

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be really great to be able to search within your gmail emails from 
Spotlight.

This isn't really a defect, this should be filed under Enhancement

Sorry, I skipped this step. How does one change the bug type?

I don't plan to add Gmail support to Precipitate; setting up Mail.app or another
local email client to sync your Gmail through IMAP will already accomplish that.

That is too bad, because some of us do not want Mail.app running as it is a bit 
of a resource hog. I'll admit it has 
gotten a lot better lately, but so much of my information is in the cloud I 
prefer it to stay there.

If I wrote an email client from scratch it might well be a resource hog too. 
There's
no reason to believe that I, as a single person with no experience writing email
clients and very little time to spend on it, would do better than a dedicated 
team of
experienced engineers.

We do not need to write an email client.

we can just pass on the search term to gmail and return the results.

Precipitate isn't a search tool, and therefore doesn't get search terms, so I 
have no
idea what you mean.
