This isn't some dumbed down client-side web search UI. This is a completely XML-driven mechanism for adding new (search) data sources the OS shell. As demonstrated in the Channel 9 video, you get rich file functionality just like for local files (drag-and-drop, context menu, previews, thumbnails, etc), and integration with almost every Windows application via the Common File Dialog. But most of all it's about *files* and being able to find and *work* with them even if they're stored on something a SharePoint or Flickr server.
