How does Cerebro compare with Alfred?
Report
@johncschuster it depends on what you mean. For example, it is £19 cheaper;) And you can run it on Linux and Windows. But it is young product and for now, I can't guarantee such stability and plugins diversity as Alfred has now. I hope in future there will be way more plugins, but even now you can use it for everyday routine. Like I do:)
@alexandr_subbotin@johncschuster can't search file system on Windows. It only pulls up google results and translation. Didn't see a plugin specific to that. Also could be settings from corporate IT blocking but it seems like this functionality is supposed to work for Windows?

So how do I set up Cerebro to search my contacts?
Report
@chuckkahn you need installed contacts plugin (type `plugins cerebro-osx-contacts` in search field to find and install it)
Report
@alexandr_subbotin Takes a few minutes before it kicks in. And it only displays the contact. Hitting enter doesn't launch the Contacts app to edit the contact. Can it do other types of contacts? (Google, Fullcontact, Facebook)
Report
@skyflowering@alexandr_subbotin After installing the plugin and typing a contact name right away, nothing happens. After a minute or so, typing a name, contact details come up in the side pane. But hitting return/enter on the contact does not launch the Contacts app.

Is it better than spotlight ?
Report
@elie_teyssedou as in the question above about Alfred, it depends. Comparing to Spotlight you can extend it with custom plugins. Out of the box, it has some features, that are not in spotlight, like inline search on maps, google suggestions or translator

Quicksilver has done this for years, any advantages here?
