Sherlock comes up as a new feature of Mac OS 8.5. It is the unification search tool which can use a search (Internet search) in the Internet and the search (Find File and contents search) in the local disk from the same interface.

Mac OS 8.5
In the first version, "Internet search" "Find File" changes three tabs of "I search it by contents" and carries out a search. I was able to search it in natural Japanese by a Japanese analysis function [1]. I search the Internet search transversely from each search site that I incorporated in a plug in form. Excite or Infoseek entered beforehand, and the user was able to add plug in (search in the online shop, searches of other user own work such as other search sites, Amazon.com such as Yahoo!) [1]. The Find File is equivalent to conventional search feature, and searches it using the character string search of the file name or file attribute. The search of contents performs the file contents をから full text search in the local disk that indexed it beforehand. In addition, I save the condition that I set for a search, and a search can make the file for the search carried out automatically when I open. In addition, the domain where a banner ad is displayed by the lower part of the screen returning search results is established.
Mac OS 9
It became Sherlock 2 [3] by Mac OS 9, and a search was settled together with the group called "a channel". I input the keyword that I want to search first after having chosen a channel icon. The channel is customizable by addition of the plug in. In addition, the interface design was renovated, too and became like so-called brush metal.
