I’ll show you some of the cooler features of this “forgotten” Mac application. To my delight, Sherlock was an invaluable tool and a great time-saver. It wasn’t until I purchased a newer computer on eBay that I discovered a revamped version of Sherlock in Tiger. I used it to index my hard drives, but not much else. I never was the first person on my block to get the latest operating system from Apple, but when I finally did get Mac OS 8.5 several years ago, I didn’t find Sherlock to be a very useful program. Look for it in your Mac’s Applications folder. Sure, you can search your Mac with Spotlight and get Internet information with Dashboard Widgets, but Sherlock can still come in handy. I’m talking about Sherlock, of course – Apple’s file and web searching tool. It was a big hit in Mac OS 8 and 9, an interesting application in Mac OS 10.2 and 10.3, and now it’s been all but forgotten.
