Spotlight Question
Ok - I like spotlight, but it does not always work like I expect.
For example, I just downloaded rsyncx.
When I search for rsync in Spotlight, rsyncx.app is the top hit.
When I search for sync, I get colorsync.app, iSync.app, and whole bunch of other stuff, but no rsyncx.
What gives? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any tips - I want touse Spotlight, but I keep having issues like this....

ummm Well yes, spotlight does have a few bugs still. It seems to work best as a find for the beginning of a name. You can force spotlight to rebuild its data base or use the find command. You would think that by OS X 10.4.9 it would be fixed but... maybe 10.5.0?
