[7:00 AM] Get Sherlock Access In Your Menu Bar Or Control Strip
by Staff

Public Access Software has announced the release of Sherlock Menu 3. Sherlock Menu is a utility that puts a pulldown menu in your menu bar or your control strip with easy access to Sherlock. The new version offers many new features and other enhancements. According to Public Access Software:

Sherlock Menu installs a System-wide menu into either the Menu Bar or Control Strip that allows the user to easily access the Sherlock search application of Mac OS 8.5 and newer. Plus Sherlock Menu offers search mode preselection which launches Sherlock ready to perform the type of search you need.

New Features/Changes in Sherlock Menu 3:

  • NEW Compatible with Sherlock 2!
  • NEW The Menu Bar and Control Strip Module version of Sherlock Menu can be set to open alternate applications independently of each other!
  • NEW Sherlock Menu will always open Sherlock into a user-specified search mode/channel regardless of what was last used by simply selecting "Open Sherlock"!
  • NEW Tabbed Appearance-compliant interface and other interface niceties for the Sherlock Menu Control application.
  • NEW Wider selection of applications to open via Sherlock Menu. More specifically any application-control panel (type: APPC, some Control Panels) or application-driver (type: APPD, some Apple Menu items) can be chosen as well as traditional Mac applications (type: APPL).
  • Various other tweaks to the Sherlock Menu "kernel" (the common set of features provided to both the Menu Bar and Control Strip Module) that will help improve compatibility and operability of Sherlock Menu.

Sherlock Menu 3 is available in US English only at this time.

You can find more information and download links for Sherlock Menu 3 at the company's web site. Sherlock Menu is priced at US$7.
