Actually I'm not sure that even that is true. The 80/20 is *generally* applicable but software developers are *seldomly* users of their own software. However, the big issue is still not which features to have but how to implement and expose them: the oft talked about but seldom correctly done "usable default".
Adding full text indexing and thus searching for plain text files to queries in BeOS is technically relatively easy and without a huge overhead in my opinion and was probably something Be just never got round to doing along with some form of indexing for none-BFS partitions. I know that the absence of this feature has probably me as much annoyance as anything else "missing" on BeOS and the Opera mail client shows both how fast this can run.
