Version 1.1 of Spotless finally allowed me to upgrade to Tiger. I've been running 10.3.9 for almost a year after Tigers' release. Widgets, need I say more? Endless clutter, no scalable windows, and continuous memory use, ick. Sherlock is enough. Then this automatic look everywhere at one, need to search my search, spotlight? Apple misnamed it's search technology, it should be called Floodlight. As a professional audio engineer and freelance Mac tech the notion of needing to manually stop disable the indexing of every external drive I mount on my mac was absurd. I put a damaged mac into target mode, Carbon Copy Clone, or run Disk Warrior, oh but wait, why is it so slow? I forgot, Flood... I mean Spotlight is indexing; Open system preferences, drag to window, start repair/copy.
I think the most important features of Spotless 1.1, is the ability to disable the automatic part of Spotlight.
Set your internal drive in the spotless drive list to, "Auto = No" and the global automatic setting to "On + Disable" and your good to go. With this setting Spotlight is lightning fast on your internal and still searches, not excluding by name, your external volumes. Powerful to say the least and you can always designate other drives to ignore the automatic setting.
This is highly recommended for audio/video professionals as well as techs. So drop down the ten bucks and enjoy Spotlight the way it should have been from the start.
