Ummm....No? I want my email to stay in my e-mail thank you very much. Is Google just BEGGING to be hacked again? *sigh*

I can see a future glitch where their system ends up pulling data from another person's email. Time to remove my ex wife's hate mail. Oh wait, you can all have that...

If they mean searching only YOUR email for data then I don't see a problem with it. The mini search could be very useful and save loads of time for people like me who keep everything organized. I have so many emails it is sometimes a chore to find what i'm looking for. If it was a public search, I could see so many issues with it.

Isn't this why there's already a search function in gmail itself? No need to make it global. This will not end well.

I like this. This feature makes sense if I am already logged into Google while searching. It is already linked to my email as it is. Let this come...

Agree with kjclouden. Use google to search the web, use gmail client search to search your email.

Ok time to dump gmail.

There's absolutely no way they'll make it search other people's email and show the results in your searches. It's going to pull from your email and your's alone.

Never mind the fact that I do not use Gmail; the idea is not that bad but.
However, when I look at my search patterns I rarely look for the same thing on the web and in my emails. It may be of interest to a small percentage of users, but for most it seems like a waste of resources.

Not on purpose, that is.

I'm done with Gmail. I'm tired of Google saving and archiving everything I do online. Based on your search patterns alone, Google knows where you are on any given day, who you bank with, what kind of medical issues you're searching for, problems you have, hobbies, interests, political views, etc.

And consider the data collection center built by the NSA in Utah (http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/) and I just don't want to do business with any internet company that stores information about me. There are plenty of companies out there that make it a point not to keep records.

think chrome here.
that top bar searches google
this just makes it so it also goes for your email too in the same place.

I'm out of Gmail once this thing goes global. I got nothing to hide but I like to have my privacy.
