Or MacOS Spotlight. Good lord. Most common occurrence: searching for Telegram, an app I have open 24/7 and interact with dozens of times a day. CMD+Space "T": LaTeXIT.app (an app I have used fewer than a dozen times in two years) "E": LaTeXIT.app "L": Telegram.app "E": Electrum.app (how on earth??) "G": telemetry.app (an app which cannot even be run) "RAM" : Telegram Similar experience searching for most apps, files, and words. It's horrendous. MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
