here : http://www.avedesk.o.../information/2/
all the download links works with me
this is another alternative for MacSearch, IMO it's much better : http://www.osx-e.com.../macsearch.html
Good luck

do you know if there is any way to get MacSearch to work through ObjectBar?

Cheers

It works, but you have to click twice :
1. Point that Spotlight icon as a shortcut to Macsearch exe
( it will comes out the Mac search icon )
2. Click that Mac search icon
Well that's what I could do, maybe someone has a better solution ?

^^ it is possible, i think. you can have as many systrays in objectbar, but they are essentially one and the same since they are just hooking-up to the original windows systray. I think that if you hide an icon in one systray, that same icon is also hidden in the other systrays.

so you can choose to do what you described, but you won't have access to other systray icons. that also means that you will have that search app included in windows startup...

you can still use it though, why deprive yourself lol!.
i myself can not make MacSearch_trigger work consistently when placed in Objectbar. ended up putting a shortcut in the dock instead, (sigh)...

^^No. What i meant was that i creeated a shortcut in the dock pointing to Macsearch.exe, NOT mac _trigger. Clicking on the dock icon essentially starts up MacSearch. you'll notice a spotlight icon on your systray. left-click on systray icon opens up the search bar. right-click opens up config options.

the _trigger thingie is supposed to be the application your shortcut points to (in objectbar) for opening the searchbar, instead of going to the systray and clicking the spotlight icon.

you can try this yourself, maybe it will work for you...
create a shortcut on the bar itself. point it to mac_triggger. then go to macsearch folder and click/open up macsearch.exe (the app should now be running in background- see your systray for the spotlight icon). then click on the shortcut/bar icon you just created. the searchbart should slide out!
if it does, good for you.

yehh i did it, i linked my spotlight icon to the trigger.cmd and now it works fine except a little command prompt window pops up every time i click it but i guess i will just have to live with that :)
