Version 2.14 of GNOME's desktop for Linux or UNIX systems contains a new integration of a desktop search bar that can search the local machine or several search engines online.
By including search functionality in the Deskbar, users of the release notes: "New to GNOME is the Deskbar. Power users, keyboard enthusiasts and users of the old panel command line will find this replacement incredibly powerful and easy to use. Deskbar uses plugins (written in Python) to provide search functionality for programs, files, folders, bookmarks, contacts and much more. Deskbar can also use the live search functionality of Google Live, Yahoo and Beagle."
Users can enter a term into a search box, then select from a panel of search options. Those options can trigger a desktop event, like a program launch, or be used to search online sources like Google, Yahoo, and Answers.com.
As newer versions of popular Linux distributions like Debian, and others become available, GNOME 2.14 will be included as a desktop option.
The GNOME Foundation also administration tools available. It includes several tools to help administrators at enterprise-level businesses manage remote desktops, and improves access to PC lockdown tools.
The Pessulus lockdown editor puts a graphical interface on top of GNOME's existing lockdown capabilities. Admins can prevent users from gaining command-line access to a machine, or keep them from shutting it down or rebooting.
Also, GNOME included the Sabayon profile editor. Admins can set up profiles and personalize them based on user roles in the business. Once created, the profiles can be deployed to machines destined for a user with a particular role.
Since the profiles are maintained centrally, admins can change them as needed in one place to affect all users of that profile.
