Every MenuSearch release, newest first.

  1. 1.0

    BetaLatestBuild 3

    MenuSearch 1.0 is the first release. Press ⌥Space or click the magnifying glass in the menu bar to find apps and files, do quick math, or jump to the web, all from one small search field.

    New
    • Apps and files: results come straight from the Spotlight index as you type. Matching is case- and accent-insensitive and works at word starts, so chr finds Google Chrome. Return opens the selected result; ⌘Return reveals it in Finder.
    • Live calculator: type a sum like 12% of 340 or sqrt(2) * pi and the answer shows as you type. Return or ⌘C copies it. Supports mod, !, degrees, pi, e, tau, trig, logs and rounding functions.
    • Web fallback: type a domain like apple.com to open it, or search Google for anything else.
    • Escape clears the field, and a second Escape closes it.
    • Right-click the menu bar icon to turn on Open at Login, or to see whether another app already uses ⌥Space.
