Problem

Shawn has downloaded a file from the internet and saved it. He would like to do print the file later when he returns home. When he does return home the file should be either on-hand for use or easily found using search.

A file that has been pulled from the internet should have a special status for a few reasons: security warnings may be displayed, policy may prevent use, it is highly likely that the file will be used soon, it is highly likely that a reminder function should be used for the file. When trying to find the file Shawn should be able to search for "from Joan", "from google docs", "bizcom.com", etc.
