Laserlight provides a text entry field in which you can type your entire search subject before unleashing the Spotlight search with a button click. It also offers the option of either a standard, comprehensive search, or a more narrowly focused search on keywords/names only instead of all content. Just select the appropriate button in the Laserlight window.Optionally you can search on keywords/names only instead of all content, and may restrict the search by file type and/or date. Laserlight is faster, better Spotlight.
LaserLight puts your search string directly into the Spotlight search field, bypassing the clunky, as-you-type search method a simple solution that facilitates a faster, better Spotlight.
There are also a number of options available that can be set in the script application. Drag the Laserlight application onto the "Script Editor" application in the "/Applications/Apple Script/" folder to edit it. At the top of the script you'll find the options with explanations. To set Laserlight to default to searching on Keywords and Files name only (instead of all content), set defaultToKeyword to true. There are several other options available within the script file as well. Save your changes to make them take effect.
