Re: Application support...

The more apps use tenor the more usefull it will be.
So, will it be kde-only or will other apps (Qt, gtk, any other) be able to feed data into it ?

there is no reason why any application couldn't fee data into it. there will likely be a Qt dependency (though not a GUI one) in the core Tenor engine, but i don't see that being a problem. i expect an IPC bridge to emerge, for instance, and if other app developers have a problem communicating with a non-gui but Qt using app then they may want to check their priorities =) personally i see this as similar to the glib issue =)
the file indexer will not be tied into the Tenor engine, but use the API like any other application. so there could be multiple indexers written for different purposes, one of which could use KFMI (or something faster and with FTI-appropriate capabilities, preferably)
and yes, it should be possible to write FireFox extensions and OOo plugins to tap into tenor, for instance.
there will also be a GUI library for KDE apps to use (stock interface elements and probably various KDE specific helper goo-gads) as well, but that should be a separate library from Tenor itself and so be of no concern to non-KDE apps.
