A "Sherlock" review , Rich a browser is not needed for net searching

NYT reviewed OS 8.5 and its new "find" process - AAPL added a relevance sort and a browser is not needed :

" ÿ ÿIn OS 8.5, Apple Computer has totally rewritten its Find feature.
It will now be able to search for content within files. And what's found will be sorted by relevance, with the closest match listed first.

The new Find feature will also let you search the Internet without a browser . Of course, you'll still need a modem and an Internet provider to access the Web.

Could form the basis for AAPL's "push" technology in its OS with file driven net access - watch out "CORBA" !

Re: Sherlock

Don't pre-judge Sherlock. It is not as simple as you might think. Many of its interesting aspects have yet to be highlighted or explored.
