I wasn’t familiar with this company and find their name funny.
First, it uses the Mac command vs the windows control. That’s funny to go with the smaller market share for your name.
I didn’t know what this command does so I checked and it ejects on Mac. Not used nowadays so can be overloaded.
That being said, I like the idea of local search and really miss Google desktop. I find both windows and Mac search slow and inaccurate and would like to see proper search integrated into the OS. Proper in that it finds what I’m looking for- a super grep- and that it doesn’t eat my cpu (windows stupid indexing service frequently chews along at 100% on a cpu even though nothing has changed).
This is a good fit for Dropbox as at least they can index everything in the cloud and apply that index to searching on my local machine.
I still use command+space to open all apps and common docs.
