We all know how powerful and perfect Quicksilver is for that one click solution to launching applications or navigating your Mac for a file. As of today it looks like there is a new player in the game. Google has just released a very Quicksilver like application for FREE called quick search box
The Application does just about everything Quicksilver does and then some. We have tried it over here and it is working as expected and surprisingly well for a first release. It also has a very small memory footprint which keeps your system from bogging down. The option to remove the icon from the dock and place in the Menu are welcome and the Search option remembers your recent searches quite well and puts the items or applications that you use most at the forefront of the search.
Another very positive note about the app is that it's open source which means third party developers can utilize the app to integrate more features and ideas.
You do need to be running 10.5 Leopard to install but give it a try and see if your able to make the switch...we are slowly transitioning.
