Fun with the Mac: Race Spotlight!
permanent link
· Topic/MacOSX
Spotlight on the Mac is useful, but it's still terribly slow, especially at finding Applications, I've found. I have come up with a little game:
- Type the name of the application you want in the Spotlight menu, and hit return.
- Then start navigating in the Finder to the folder/subfolder where you think your application will be.
Which one wins? Almost always, the manual navigation.
Maybe I should try LaunchBar or QuickSilver again....
