No one dog-fooded that thing.
- nitwit005 5mo agoSomeone has realized the search results are insane, as there's at least one obvious fix buried in settings: I open Finder, click on Applications, search "Google Chrome". Top results? MarketingAnalytics.yaml, aria-proptypes.md, and so on, from some project I cloned off of Github into my home directory at some point. I guess the file contents include "Google Chrome"? Clearly insane, but under the "Advanced" finder settings, it's easy to find "Search the Current Folder". Suddenly, you get the result you'd expect.
- noahbp 5mo agoIt’s incredible that “Search the Current Folder” is not the default, nor, as far as I’m aware, can it be made the default.
- c-hendricks 5mo ago> nor, as far as I’m aware, can it be made the default Huh? You absolutely can, the post you're replying to says as much. defaults write com.apple.finder FXDefaultSearchScope SCcf
- jshier 5mo agoNo need for a default, you can set that in Finder’s settings.
- veber-alex 5mo agoSpotlight search is completely broken. If I type "sa" the first result is Safari but if I type "safa" I get "Adguard for Safari.app". In what world does this make sense?
