[Design] Quick Item Entry

[Mimi Yin]

Well the original plan was that if you started typing, we would  
assume you were trying to search. Travis pointed out that you might  
be creating new items more often than searching. (Especially given  
the task management/calendaring scenarios we're focusing on for  
Beta / 1.0)

How often do people do text search in Outliner / task management and  
calendar apps? as compared to email clients?
+ The same amount?
+ Twice as much?
+ Half as much?
+ Barely ever?
+ Never?
