Inquisitor offers spotlight-like results for searches as you type. It is the killer app that got me using Safari again.
Not only does it display search results as you type, it can also guess what your searching for. It even offers other suggestions for your search. After a single day of using this I was hooked.
Add the fact it’s one of the most beautiful applications on OS X and you’ve got a killer app.
Inquisitor does such an amazing job of integrating with Safari, it’s easy to forget you’re using an add-on.
Inquisitor also offers other useful features, like tracking searches and sites you’ve previously visited.
Did I mention Inquisitor is free? It pays for itself through affiliate links, which are disclosed now after a little controversy. If this bothers you, there’s the option for disabling this in preferences.
Nearly every aspect of Inquisitor is customizable through it’s pane in Safari Preferences:
If you’ve never played with Inquisitor, I highly suggest you give it a try. Pretty soon you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
The developer of Inquisitor, David Watanabe, also develops other high quality Mac apps such as Acquisition, Xtorrent and the recently free Newsfire.
I was unable to find an alternative for Firefox. Currently Firefox offers search suggestions, but nothing like demonstrated here.
