Issue: Finding and Launching applications on the Mac
Affects: Mac OSX
Solutions to the issue:  Using The Google Quick Search Box for Mac <a href=”http://www.google.com/quicksearchbox/index.html” class=”external free” title=”http://www.google.com/quicksearchbox/index.html” rel=”nofollow”>http://www.google.com/quicksearchbox/index.html</a> has speed up my workflow for a lot of tasks.  I use it more than spotlight for launching applications that I don’t have in my Dock.  It also allows for stringing together related actions into tasks.  Without any scripting I am able to remote into a server with four keystrokes using RDC.  I can search for and send email to one of my contacts without having to open mail.app or the address book.

It was created by the same person who wrote Quicksilver for the Mac.  It is the first thing I install on any new mac.  ’
