Sherlock 3 is the third major version of the Sherlock file and web search tool developed by Apple Computer. Sherlock 3's technology is built into Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar).
Differences between other editions[]
Unlike Sherlock 2, Sherlock 3 no longer searches for files on your hard drive. Instead, the new technology from the original Sherlock -- Internet searching -- is not only its sole feature, but it has also been vastly expanded Sherlock 3, for example, features a multilingual translation machine that allows translation in several pairs of language, from Chinese to English, from Japanese to French, and so on and so forth.
Replacement[]
Sherlock was replaced by Spotlight and Dashboard on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. But Apple continued to include it with the default installation. When Mac OS X v10.5 was released, Apple completely removed it.
Sherlock 3's search channels are also compatible with compatible 3rd party extensions.
