I obviously cant back this up but I have a very strong suspicion that people would would be wanting to use the WPS integration (or at least setting the start screen to PF) wouldn't want to use the regular database viewer, so for those people having the setting wouldn't inconvieniece them. Of course we could put in a option in PF to go into the DB browser also.

Like I said, people wanting this dont want to press the extra button to get into PF. Being able to pass a DB search string into PF would be sweet (Actually being able to pass a DB search string around *anywhere* in rockbox would be a massive injection of awesome!) Remember, I'm not suggesting this be the default, I'm suggesting an option for users.
