Dragging the window proxy icon of a file coming from a remote server to the desktop will create an ftp location clipping, rather than moving the file. Find by Content Searches Sherlock , introduced in Mac OS 8.5, lets you search files on your local disks by content, provided disks have been indexed. You can enter one or more keywords, press the Search button, and after a few seconds, a list of matching documents is displayed, sorted by relevance. But once you find a document based on its contents, you typically want to open that file and jump right to the found text. In other words, you have to enter the same keyword twice , once in Sherlock and again in the application.
Style is different.
Double-clicking a Style document in the list of matches generated by Sherlock opens the file and automatically hilites the first occurrence of the keyword, scrolling it into view if necessary. This extra parameter tells the application what keyword the user is looking for. Unfortunately, few applications support this protocol introduced back in Mac OS 8.5. Fortunately, Style is one of them. While the classic Finder and Mac OS have very limited support for this feature, long file names can be easily entered in Mac OS X .
