Ryan Faas has an article up highlighting the upgraded Spotlight feature of Apple’s upcoming “Leopard” 10.5 release of OS X.  It’s got some really cool stuff coming, including:

Those are all really great features!  I just can’t put my finger on it, but for some reason I feel like I’ve seen them before.

    Hey Brandon, I have to agree; despite these being great features, I also believe I have seen them before :)

    PS: Nice blog; didn’t know you had it, I’ll be sure to check in here often.

    Windows, mouse, icons - I can’t put my finger on it but I’ve seen those somewhere before too.
    Steve stole it from Xerox, Bill stole it from Steve. What else is new.

    Hi,

    Regarding uninstalling WDS: We have users that frequently search for numerical data in an excel file (asset numbers, budget numbers). Before installing WDS, we could right click on a folder, select search, enter in a number in the ’search for text in file’ and have the resulting spreadsheets returned. After installing WDS this didn’t work. Then, we uninstalled WDS and it *still* doesn’t work. We really need this functionality back, can you help?
