[DM-MUG] More Spotlight info

[Victoria L. Herring]

I'm trying out various Spotlight addons or alternatives and haven't 
settled on any yet [Laserlight and Spotinside are free] and found 
this discussion at ATPM with three other alternatives mentioned...not 
sure actually that I like any of the 5 at first blush, but I haven't 
given each a fair long trial = I like Laserlight's speed but it's 
limited, Spotinside takes longer but is thorough [I think]

>MoRU 1.3.4
>Just to mention-two other similar apps are Meta and HoudahSpot.
>MoRU seems pretty capable though (trying it out now), and is the 
>cheapest-the others are $20 each. The pre-built search templates in 
>Moru seem pretty useful, and not just a gimmick (Office files, 
>iTunes music, etc.)

>The thing I most like about MoRU is that you can perform tasks

>read-only function. MoRU, I can delete, move files, rename, etc.
>So, all the power of Spotlight, plus the ability to actually do some 
>file maintenance with the results.
