Finder Searches

The new Finder in Leopard has this neat feature that shows your documents (and other stuff) that have been accessed 'Yesterday', 'Today', and 'Past Week'. Very handy. Downside is that it shows not only the documents, but also every other file that has been changed. So a nice short list of documents is out of the question. After a day of workin, you might end up with a very, very long list of files.

The 'Search For' is a nice way of exploring the crap on your machine after an upgrade of Tiger. Do an upgrade and use the 'Search For' feature the next day. I found some files that I didn't even knew I had. Most of them were mail related (kinda embarrassing attachments etc.).

Oh, and if you're a person that wants to hide certain things on the computer, you might wanna disable spotlight (or whatever function is doing this), because it's one hell of a Parental Control mechanism. Even the items you used in the preference panel show up.

B.t.w. Did I mention that the new Cover Flow feature in Finder just kicks ass. It runs as smooth as a baby's bottom... well you get the idea.
