This app seems interesting. Haven't tried it cause i'm at work on a PC. One of the things a would want to do is a search within a search. Kinda like filtering but with user defined criteria.

Son instead of looking for the type of criteria you want to filter with you can just type

.PSD -----> then in another box type -----> cat


bacause if you type cat your gonna get all these JPEG's

If you guys install it let me know how it works.

I wouldn't really call it a Spotlight killer, given that it, you know, uses Spotlight for its back-end.

It's more of an alternate interface to Spotlight.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

And if I type .psd and cat in the same box in Spotlight I too get only the Photoshop files of cats. So what is the advantage of this program? Other than more boxes to type in.

Freaking cool I never bothered to try that. He I don't think thats clearly documented cause I know a lot of other spotlights trecks but not that one.

About it being a spotlight killer I was just kidding I just wanted to get peoples attention so people can respond to my post (my posts are always terribly unsuccessful).

So the search with in a search is the word that goes after and right?
