That was almost 10 years ago. Seems like it was just yesterday.

#572I've been using it for several months since the developer beta came out; overall I'm extremely positive on it. One of their better releases that seemingly focused more on quality and refinements than new-features. Siri is definitely worth using now, even if it remains still a work-in-progress/needs continued refinement. It can surprise you in good ways, but it isn't consistently good yet. The keyboard remains unfixed…
Apple's search is so comically bad. For example, I can click on my applications, and I have an app called Chess. I can often type letters C-H-E-S-S and have it not show the Chess app. This is inside the applications folder! Many people have complained before. Honestly I ONLY search for app names in spotlight search or application window, it should be trivial to make it actually work. Maybe i just need to vibecode som…
I did just that. Took me half a day. I haven't used Spotlight since. I did try alternative launchers, but they are all bloated. I just need an app launcher and simple arithmetic - that's all it does.

It’s so much worse than that. This happens to me on a daily basis with both MacOS and iOS. Say I’m searching for Chess, I’ll get to the C-H and it’ll show the Chess app, but enter that next -E and it’s totally gone. It feels like the system is designed like “Well, I showed them Chess when they entered CH, but they kept typing, so they must not actually want Chess.” This ends up breaking for me like 95% of the time, a…
For me search has been that way since the first MacOS 26.0 upgrade and apparently never fixed.
But speaking of quality overall (outside of the search glitch) - I use dual 5k LG monitors with my work MacBook and can get the MacOS Display Manager process to crash if I just enable variable rate refresh and put the computer to sleep, then wake it up. Apparently a known issue for a few years, still not fixed.

I wish all this shit would just stop trying to search as I’m fucking typing. It’s like that person we all know that can’t hold their tongue for five fucking seconds and let you finish a sentence before the blurt something out.
This seems like a general UI bug. Q: For those amongst us who are UI experts, what is it called when dynamic lists populate unpredictably while a finger-tap is in-progress? a) start query and see initial results b) start finger-navigation, moving finger over initial results c) start finger-tap descent d) underlying list is updated, replacing future finger-tap destination's UI element with another e) finger-tap meets…
It’s called layout shift.

Not just operating systems. Try the following on the IMDB app or website. Search 'True', you'll get True Detective and True Blood show up as the top results. That seems to work well. But then if you add a space making it 'True ', 'Bill Hader' is the top result!
People still use IMDB after they introduced mandatory account registration to even see user reviews?

It's not just tolerable, it's even enjoyable!

#579Did they fix the thing where you have to wait like 2 seconds for the context menu to open up when you want to paste something? Does anyone else notice that you tap on the screen and it takes literally 3 full seconds for the little pop-up where you can press the paste button to appear,
Probably continuity network slowness. Universal Clipboard is probably seeing if your other device just added something to the clipboard.
Oh my! That solved it! Thank you so much!

By default finder search searches all files rather than the current folder. You have to go to finder preferences to change it.
