Sherlock 1 had a pretty obnoxious interface, but it worked; Sherlock 2 was just hideous. Back then I used File Buddy's Find as a replacement.

Sherlock 2 was ugly, but at least it was able to find stuff before next week. Now it's back in the Finder and it sucks worse than Sherlock ever did.

Weird. I distinctly remember Sherlock 2 being part of Mac OS 8.5. In any case, Sherlock 1 was still the initial exile of finding files from the Finder, which was still at least <i>slightly</i> evil. :P Err... what? Weird.

Mac OS 8.5 brings to mind the horrors of finding files being relegated to Sherlock 2, with it's weird brushed-metal appearance and non-windowshading functionality.

If you look at the advertisement that I linked to, you'll find that Mac OS 8.5 actually was the introduction of Sherlock 1, the first non-shitty edition. ☺

Mac OS 9 was the version responsible for the evil that was Sherlock 2.

I seem to recall Mac OS 8.1 being more important than 8.5, but who knows. That was so long ago. Jeebus, almost a decade! (And to think that I dealt with administering a school of Macs with that version on them!)
