I came here to complain about Apple's autocompletion feature: probably 30% of the time when I start to type a long word, the exact word I want comes up in the suggestion box at the top; only by the time I click the box, the word has changed to something else. It would have been faster to type all 7 characters out with my thumbs than to delete and re-type everything again.

- medstrom 4y agoYes, my trick is to avoid the global search and go for a specific search, e.g. on the iPhone I go to the apps library and only then swipe down to get the search. That search is for apps only, so it's instant & responsive.
- yakubin 4y agoI have Sublime Text and Sublime Merge installed on my Mac. Trying to launch them through Spotlight is an exercise in frustration. Each successive letter typed in Spotlight alternates the selection between Sublime Text and Sublime Merge, so when I press Enter to launch, it’s almost certainly the wrong one of the two.
