Since VersionTracker didn't include the release notes for this update:

"This update brings Snow Leopard compatibility to the select few who run the developer preview version.

This version includes a handful of minor bug fixes."

You know, I hate to throw cold water on this, but the program is hard to use. It does supply some features that spotlight should probably have built-in. However, it has the look and feel of a program that was not thought out at all when it was initially released and has simply had little pieces tacked on here and there. The developer needs to take this rather nice application from a technical aspect and turn it into a user-friendly program. The people out here who are raving about it are clearly people who have figured out how to use it, and that's nice, but if anyone actually wants this program to be accepted by the general Macintosh community the program clearly needs an overhaul.

This is a terrific piece of software. I don't use Spotlight anymore and find the UI for HoudahSpot superior. Nice addition to the Mac OS. Try it - you'll like it!
