Macworld: A dim view of Spotlight. ⇒
23 November 2005, early evening
I almost never use spotlight. The cmd-space short-cut on my computer opens Quicksilver.
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
Ok, I will be the first to admit the UI inconsistencies and the lack of any control over how it works. But damn is it useful and fast. I wish there was a spotlight for my brain. What intrigues me most about Spotlight is how it drives “virtual” folders and “searches” in OS X. And it will only get better.
I use Quicksilver these days mostly (Cmd + Enter…finally found ‘Enter’ for something useful) though. I am still dumbfounded as to why its free.

Invoking Quicksilver with a single press of ctrl will change your life.
Spotlight would be nice if everything had the proper metadata. It’s handy to dig up that old resume you know is somewhere…
