TOPIC This article describes the new features of Mac OS 8.6. DISCUSSION Searching the Internet Sherlock has improved the ability to search behind firewalls, including SOCKS and authenticated proxy servers. You can also set the number of Internet connections that you can make simultaneously in Sherlock's Preferences window. The Search Internet panel is now resizeable so you can easily see all available search sites. Click the new Uncheck All button to quickly deselect the selected search sites. Find by Content The "Find by Content" section of Sherlock now allows you to index and search PDF and HTML files. You can also index or search items with a particular label, or index an individual folder. You index a folder using the Contextual menu (press the Control key and click a folder). This is particularly useful when you perform frequent indexes of volumes where few folders change. If the contents of an individual folder have changed, you can update the index for just the changed folder. |
