Yup, they can be removed entirely one Minerva is ready.

Yes, that can be improved.

Okay.

So basically you're looking at taking that functionality and adding  
some shortcuts for it. Something like a Horde Portal-style dashboard  
for Hermes with customizable blocks might be great - if you could  
write a Horde_Block or several for hermes for these search shortcuts,  
it'd be very flexible in how everyone could use them.

Sure. Should just need adding it to Thor.

Sounds good to me.
