Google heeft een developer preview van Quick Search Box for Mac uitgebracht. De testversie is door te klikken op deze link als dmg-bestand te downloaden en heeft versienummering 2.0.0.808 meegekregen. Quick Search Box for Mac is een klein programma dat gebruikt kan worden om naar en in bestanden te zoeken, programma's te starten, websites te openen en definities te raadplegen. De release notes zien er als volgt uit:
FeaturesThe basics
- It works as a location bar AND a search box - It'll autocomplete URLs and you can use TAB to search any website using Site Search.
- The tab key has special functionality beyond just site search. It is equivalent to "search in this context": you'll see that the results of a contextual search include related items, contents, and actions.
- Calculation, Weather, and Definition one boxes will show up periodically. More are on the way. What else would you expect to see?
- If you enable it, spotlight results will show up. Usually these are relegated to the "More" section at the bottom of the window, but once you use these items, they'll be learned and become much faster to access.
