Sherlock Plug-ins

Sherlock is Apple's new search utility built into the Mac OS System 8.5. Sherlock combines searching your hard drive and searching the Internet with natural-language queries for a seamless searching experience. You can search multiple search engines simultaneously, then view the results ranked by relevance, all without requiring a browser. Sherlock comes with six default plug-ins for the major search engines (AltaVista, Excite, Lycos, Infoseek...) and can be extended with user-supplied plug-ins. We've created two Sherlock plug-ins for WebReference.com, and all of Internet.com.

WebReference.sit.hqx - Sherlock plug-in for WebReference.com

Internet.com.sit.hqx - Sherlock plug-in for Internet.com

Just download and unstuff these small files, and drag them onto your closed System folder. They are automatically put inside your "Internet Search Sites" folder, which Sherlock loads each time it launches.
