Random Mac-related Stuff
More than you wanted to know about how Spotlight works, and how it doesn't work. Spotlight is the Mac OS X search-by-content system. The technology is very, very cool, but the user interface really, really sucks. That's why there are a number of applications to replace it, such as this one and this one.
This person makes some nifty Mac freeware, including ToyViewer and IcoMaker. I just used both to add a favicon to mile23.com.

ooo I hate spotlight. I use a mac at work, not at home and it is useless to me as a search engine, as everything I need is on a network volume. Is there no osx sherlock?
ok ok I'll read the readme, maybe learn something that will help.
my 2 cents.
I'm pretty sure it works across networked volumes, once the volume has been indexed. I don't have an easy way to check that, though.
