Product Description:

LaunchBar offers an amazingly intuitive way to control your computer. Just type a few letters of what you intend to do and LaunchBar will do it for you. And the best - it's lightning fast! Even before you can finish your thought of what to do next - it will be done. How does it work? LaunchBar is sitting in the background, ready to receive your keystrokes. You just hit Command-Space to attract its attention, enter a short, abbreviated description of what you're looking for, and a sophisticated, adaptive evaluation algorithm immediately offers the best matching choice from a list of thousands of possibilities. Start applications, open documents, invoke system services, compose emails or navigate the web - LaunchBar will be your essential servant.

What's new in this version:

Fixed a bug that caused LaunchBar to freeze during startup.

LaunchBar 3.2.8

LaunchBar now supports localized filenames. Applications, Preference Panes and folders can be searched by their localized names. This feature can be configured in the preferences panel. Please note that changing this preference setting may cause some disk activity, since the filename index must be updated for all items in your setup.
index.html files can now be searched by their parent folder's name (especially useful for searching documentation files).
The default configuration has been extended by a couple of new developer documentation entries. You can update an existing configuration by clicking the "Add" button in the configuration window and selecting "Developer Resources" from the list of "Factory Defaults".
The "Open with Application" setting can now be applied to bookmarks and email addresses as well. This allows you e.g. to provide separate bookmarks files for alternative web-browsers, containing only those URLs that do not display properly in your default browser.
Scanning for files has been further optimized (it's up to 25% faster)
Fixed an incompatibility with the latest version of Path Finder.
Leading space characters in filenames are now properly ignored to gain better search results for these items.

When I use other Macs I am lost without this software.

LaunchBar can do what other launchers do but the other stuff is just amazing. I haven't used spotlight directly in nearly two years (which is a blessing) and the ability to jump between locations, folders, programs and projects easily without having to think cannot be replicated easily using another launcher as far as I know.

Superb!
