We have all that and more in macos today and have for many years. Spotlight is implemented by the same person who wrote BeFS.

  The last time I used Spotlight (no mac at the moment), it was so slow that I had to disable it globally. The metadata integration in BeOS was different. For example media and email storage in BeOS.

    Spotlight is amazing, I use it everyday. It is VERY fast.

      I feel like I'm missing out. I occasionally use it to search for images in web applications I'm working on, and that's about it. What else is it good for that i could be doing?

        It's a perfectly good launcher, for one thing. Having it right under my fingers (cmd+space) means I almost always use Spotlight to launch apps.
