Re: Restricting Spotlight to search only Yojimbo items

2007-12-19 Thread Martin Gardner

Alternative universe?

1) when I try a straight-ahead spotlight search on safari notes I  
turn up, unsurprisingly, a Yojimbo item whose title includes the  
words Safari and Notes among dozens of other hits


2) when I try a spotlight search on safari notes kind:yojimbo item  
several things are found, none of them Yojimbo items.


3) when I try a spotlight search on safari notes kind:yojimbo  
item  only Yojimbo items are found, but none of them is the item  
found in the first search.


Now this is puzzlingany hints about what is happening here?

(OS 10.4.11, Yojimbo 1.5.  the  characters delimit the literal text  
that was typed, but weren't themselves entered.)

append kind:yojimbo item (without the quotes) to your spotlight  
Search.


FYI, you can search on Yojimbo tags by using the keyword specifier.  
e.g.


   keyword:mytag kind:yojimbo item

I use LaunchBar:

http://www.obdev.com/products/launchbar/index.html

One of its many features is the ability to enter a Spotlight search  
completely before Spotlight starts searching. Quicksilver


http://www.blacktree.com/

probably has a similar feature.

(Quicksilver vs. LaunchBar is a matter of religion, comparable to Mac  
vs. Windows, Emacs vs. Vi, Xbox360 vs. PS3, etc. :)  I've tried both,  
and _I_ find Launchbar easier to use. Try 'em both and see what works  
best for you.)

I created a TextExpander snippet that inserts kind:yojimbo item by  
typing ys 


Works like a charm. Four keystrokes and a search term.

I have dropped QuickSilver for TextExpander and Spotlight in Leopard.  
For my uses, it works great.

Great minds! I do the same thing using glossary expansions in  
SpellCatcher.

Looks interesting. I'm still going to need Quicksilver though because  
of its interarchy etc. plug-ins!

I'm also addicted to QuickSilver. Between that, Spaces, Spotlight and  
Yojimbo, I've so tuned my Mac I tend to get really frustrated when I  
have to work on a stock model.
