Sherlock 2.0.1

Sherlock provides search facilities for Mac OS computers. In addition to the traditional capabilities of the Find application, Sherlock supports searching by content and Internet searches.
  • Sherlock passes additional information to applications along with 'odoc' events, allowing applications to display information about how a file was found.

  • Sherlock utilizes search plug-in files describing Internet search sites. Specifications are available for search site administrators to create their own search plug-in files, thereby making their search sites available to the Sherlock application.

  • Sherlock provides AppleScript support for searching by content, indexing volumes, searching the Internet, and searching for files by name.
