few suggestions:

- fix image opening bug

- if there's a mix of normal documents and pdf documens, don't group everything as PDFs

- have the app running all the time, but with a switch to open the search window (meaning that if we click offscreen we don't lose search results)

- add tooltips with file info

im still having trouble getting results to show in spotlight. results appear fine if i use the embedded browser in preferences but NOT the search criteria box in preferences.

those of you who have gotten it to work, what does your url in the spotlight preferences look like?

http://localhost:4664/ok?url= ???

EDIT: this is what i have:

/ok?url=%2Fsearch%26s%3DFxJ15Rktf3AWMXVYibBf9EXjbro%3Fq%3D%26ie%3DUTF%2D8&s=xhMhA8WXyP-oGAcQARW0l_hFUIU

pardon my bluntness, but could we retard the feature requests a little until most of us have this working??? :P

oh yeah, ps: I was finally able to get the damn .exe to show up in the diagnostic build (thank you tom) and it can't find anything in the normal search (though it comes up fine when I do it through preferences) so I don't know whats going on

great idea though, it looks fantastic, and i'm glad it finally "shows up" on my comp! :-D

for some reason, im no longer seeing that "click here to use your unsupported browser". heres my raw html after a) updating my unique ID,B) entering something in the search chriteria field, and c) clicking 'search'...

Those who don't have it working are not doing something as they should. Those were not feautre request as much as bugfixes (images don't open, labels are wrong) and annoyance resolving issues. It's noot like I'm hailing anything not necessary (such as but not limited to skin support)
