Google Quick Search Box isn’t quite QuickSilver… at least not yet
Thursday, January 15th, 2009QuickSilver, for those who are unfamiliar, is one of the greatest software utility on Mac. On its most basic level, it is a text-based application launcher. With some experience with its more intricate features, you can select and copy multiple files from different locations, append text into files, create drawers for multiple copy and paste as well as storing text clippings. Some people would go as far as getting rid of OS X's dock altogether and base their entire workflow on just QuickSilver alone.
In the past year though, the development of QuickSilver came to a grinding halt. It was put into the open source community but received very little attention since. The original developer of QuickSilver now works for Google's Mac division, and has been focused on other projects. So imagine my excitement when I came across the article on Smoking Apples Blog that the same developer has unveiled his latest project, Google Quick Search for the Mac.
