My experience has been that if I hit command-F and use the old
Sherlock-style search window, it finds things that Spotlight
doesn't. So I don't think it's entirely gone.
I only use cmd-F, the trip with the mouse to the upper right corner is
way too long...
But what is this "old Sherlock-style search window"?
If you mean just that normal Finder search window, opened with cmd-F,
then the following remark applies:
This search window is just awful and completely inefficient because:
-when Toolbar is turned on, the insertion point is NOT in the search
field, I have to go there and click there in...
-when toolbar is turned off (which I prefer, I do not use tool- or
sidebar), the insertion point is in the search field, but is never
visible. That means, if I have to correct the spelling of the search
term, I have again to move the mouse to the respectiv place...
-the display of found items is completely other than ma standard
setting: always icon view, 2 label lines underneath the icon, a very
densly grid, which makes labels unreadable, the window is a pretty
small window, not allowing to see the path of an item nested in some
subfolders at a glance, and you have no control to change the standard
setting of that window.
Sherlock allowed to grouping, show/hide them, info about an item
directly in the window, and and and
