Wouldn't it be neat to have a "stuff I'm looking for" capability?  The 
idea would be that I use mythweb or the frontend to build a set of 
queries for things that I want to watch out for.  For example, my wife 
periodically wants me to do a "Pride and Prejudice" search.  If I could 
add these queries to a "looking_for" database table, then when 
mythfilldatabase runs, it could run the set of queries, queuing up 
recording events if it finds anything on the list.

Just an idea,
Grant
