If the Find panel could incorporate "plug-ins" for other FSes (since
probably the details will vary from FS to FS), then interested third
parties could do something like Linux (and "classic" MacOS, for that
matter) does; run a background daemon that indexes your disk during idle
time. Then the plugin could just use the index when you want to do a
Find.
