At last, I can completely type in what I want to search without like spotlight taking off before I finish typing.

For me it does the job.

I will be donating for the improvement of this application.

I fully recommend Name Search Companion

My previous post was about another freeware app (Rebuild Spotlight Index) that I had to use to fix my Spotlight Index that was very incomplete, who knows why ! Now I can fully take advantage of Name Search Companion.

Name Search Companion has the feeling of the Mac OS Search function before Spotlight but uses Spotlight strenght! It is as little slow to open though. But still wonderful! Thanks!
