"There are also a few attempts going on to build a top-knotch open-source search engine, but that is only a small piece of the picture."

I've been thinking...
Is there a simple way to integrate x1 an google search for personal use?
I mean, if x1 would also list google search it could really make some searches easier.
Meanwhile, what I'm doing is merely creating an offline copy of sites which I think can be relevant for the x1 search.
This is of course not the best solution, but I was wondering if there's a way to use x1 and google together, without zapping between 2 windows and comparing results...

the new MS search tool suppose to offer this isn't it?

Anyone know of something similar for us OSX folk?

Mail?

But seriously, Mail builds an inverted index (and quite a hefty one I might add) for each mbox file (aka Mailbox). Is the problem more in finding a standalone tool to search with?

No matter how hard I tried,
I could find no reason for people to create software and then give it out for free.
It costs hell of time to develop something, why not sell it?
There must be some reason.

I just wrote the X1 people to see if they had any academic discounts, and a nice guy wrote back to say that through the end of March the price is $49 instead of $99. Here the link to get the reduced price (which is the same as the old price):

The guy encouraged me to spread this news around so as to promote X1.

I prefer EasyFind over the Finder's content and file name searching. It is much faster and will let you search specific folders and/or inside packages.

I would love to see a simple Mail plugin that supported ‘smart folders’ akin to the ‘smart playlits’ in iTunes. Typically, I’d set them up for emails wih a name or a project title in the body copy.
