The Macintosh Find feature has grown up and allows searching of the Internet. It is now called Sherlock and can dig up information using multiple search engines across the entire Web. Information is ranked by relevance and with summaries.
Sherlock uses plug-ins that can be downloaded from individual Web sites.
Of course dealing with all these plug-ins can be a hassle so developers have come up with solutions. Holmes is an addition to MacOS 8.5's Sherlock - create search sets with similar Internet search sites grouped together. Lestrade finds anything anywhere on the Internet. Sherlock allows you to make sets of SRC files for use within Sherlock. Sherlock Tester parses Sherlock plugins, and informs you of any bugs they may contain so you may fix them or report them to the author.
