Meh, Vista has this built in already, and not only you can find things on the start menu, but all over the PC. I'd skip this. Not that revolutionary as I thought it would.

Good stuff, but somehow the usefulness of this program is limited since most of us already have our frequently-used programs ready as shortcuts on the desktop. I'd say the "coolness" of this program is more of an attraction.

Anyway, thanks kira89 for the recommendation. Here's a cookie.

this software is great, but in terms of memory usage i think it does consume quite amount of memory usage compared to samurize, (15k++ to 1-2k).

i'm not sure Vista's search function allows you to pass command line arguments, mathematical equations and URLs.

This thing is cool. While I probably won't take it over Vista's standard search, I would take it over Vistart, which is what I'm currently using.
