Woke up very early this morning to spot that Nicholas Jitkoff, the genius developer behind Quicksilver, and some colleagues at Google have released what is apparently a new incarnation of that indispensable search utility for the Mac. At first blush, Quick Search Box is not as aesthetically stunning as Quicksilver (some might argue that as a Google app it’s probably not allowed to be) nor in this developer preview does it seem as feature-complete. Still, it’s almost certainly going to get much, much better. Also see the blog post announcement.
I’m interested to see how this concept will develop over the next few years. Search, on some level or another, has become such a huge part of computing.
