SpotLook 1.0 GUI for Leopard Spotlight

311
SpotLook is a graphical user interface to Mac OS X Spotlight desktop search engine.

SpotLook uses "tracks". Tracks are timelines showing some kind of results, according to their date.

You can use the default tracks or define your own, based on the files UTIs.

Tracks also have a search scope and an attribute to search in (file name, text content or keywords).

You can select some items in each track and quicklook, open or reveal in Finder the items you really want!

Please note that this is an open-source project. Your contributions are certainly welcome.

For now, SpotLook is merely 2000 lines of Objective-C code.

New in version 1.1:

  • tracks can have no scope (search everywhere)

  • tracks can have no uti (search everything)

  • improved tracks definitions

  • improved application icon (thank you Anton)

  • aesthetic improvements

  • added online help

  • added file size in results table

  • zoom with alt-selection in time ruler

  • memory usage improvement


Sorry Tiger users, SpotLook is Leopard only.
