Examining Mac OS X 10.4's Spotlight

Posted by michael on from the seek-and-ye-shall-find dept.

Ton writes "Apple has published a discussion of Spotlight, the radical systemwide search technology that will be part of Mac OS X 10.4 'Tiger'. The really interesting part is that metadata will be playing a big role in Spotlight while just a few years ago people were afraid metadata in Mac OS X was going the way of the dodo."

    With Virtual PC, if you want. But that's irrelevent. The point was that autogenerated metadata isn't a radical innovation, because it's been implemented by MS and others. Simply reimplementing it under a different OS is not radical.
