Engineer at Cue here.

The product that was previously called Greplin is a subset of Cue. The search functionality is not going away. We have no plans to get rid of it. It isn't an edge case, or legacy functionality - it's a core piece of Cue, and it is going to stay that way.

I'm another engineer at Cue, and I'd like to elaborate on this. We need search, and we'll keep on needing it, because our service is not all-knowing. No matter how cleverly we may predict what you're going to want to see next, we can't possibly predict everything; there always needs to be a way for you to search for things. We know this, and that's why, far from deprecating our search functionality, we're always trying to improve it. The goal is to minimize the time it takes to find whatever you're looking for.

Thanks for the quick and reassuring feedback. Good luck with this new approach.

To both of you engineers; when will you support exchange? All the data I want to mine cues from is work data in exchange on my iPhone.

Is there a plan to support it?

Thanks!

[kevinclark]

This has been one of our most requested features. It is definitely something that will happen, but I can't comment on timeframe.

When the iCal support ships, I expect you can use that to keep us sync'd even before we have native exchange support. An exchange endpoint is how google sync keeps my phone up to date with ical events, iirc.

Are you the same Kevin Clark from Lucas Film?

[kevinclark]

I'm not. There's lots of us. I'm planning on getting together and having a Mad Max style Thunderdome throw down at some point to get this all worked out.

I'm the Kevin Clark from Powerset (and subsequently Bing).

Or the one from School of Rock?
