You're right in that this example violates, "When one option is the prefix of another, put the shortest one first." But a personal peeve of mine is Apple Spotlight. When I type d-a-s it autocompletes to dash.app, as soon as I type d-a-s-h it autocompletes to dashboard.app. Since it's built-in I felt limited in what I could do about it. Thanks to this post I looked up how to suppress it from Spotlight since I dont use Dashboard.
- sojournerc 8y agoyou might like this - https://www.alfredapp.com/ https://www.alfredapp.com/ - replaces spotlight, is faster, and fuzzy search seems better
- pfranz 8y agoI'll check it out again. I only use the most basic functionality of launching apps (I stretched out and started using the calculator a few months ago!). Years ago I looked at what was out there and used Quicksilver, but as soon as Spotlight started working for launching apps I stopped looking for anything else. I can't imagine anything faster than Spotlight other than the few times where it's reindexing.
