[preview] Getchoo Spotlight Clone

Thanks for all the great comments everyone, the beta testers are doing an amazing job. I havent yet replied to all those who PMed me, but ill pick some of you to be further testers.

Thanks so much for making this app. It looks great from the video. I have two simple questions: (1) As I know that GDS doesn't use the default mail app to open mail (and the other Spotlight clone has trouble with opening mail), how is Getchoo dealing with this problem? (2) Can the spotlight icon for Getchoo merge seamlessly with KoL's tiger theme's spotlight icon on the taskbar like the other Spotlight clone does?

I love summer! That's when the Aqua community gets busy!

Getchoo uses the default mail app to open emails :)

Firt of all, congratulations!

It seems to be a very good spotlight clone.

just one question:

How about relevance? That was one of the worst point of the other program. it doesnt find what we want, because it does NOT get too much results and does NOT remove web pages from them. How about yours?

Edit: what did you use to perform the search? XML or the request function?

I've loved your previous works (if only they had installers though), I'm sure I will love this too. Can't wait to add it to my collection, too bad you didn't choose me as a beta tester. :(
