Apple’s “Sherlock” search tool — a quantum leap over previous
incarnations of the classic “Find File” feature of the Mac OS
on account of its direct-to-Internet information gathering —

upon it an innovation award and proclaiming it a great “companion”
to its own Sherlock. Then, they silently ripped it all

(part of the forthcoming “Jaguar” release of MacOS X).
