Using Sherlock to Search the Web Mac OS X includes a dedicated web searching application, called Sherlock (located in the Applications folder), that can help you search for various types of content from different providers on the Web. I find using Google or other web search sites to be more useful, but for some specialized searches, such as for movie show times, Sherlock can be useful. Sherlock uses channels to categorize the information you search for. When you use a channel, the tools you search with are specific to that channel. For example, one of Sherlock's included channels is the Movies channel, which enables you to search for movie information in your area (see Figure 16.17). To use a channel, click its button on the Sherlock toolbar. Figure 16.17. Sherlock's Movies channel enables you to locate information and show times for movies you are interested in; you can even view the trailer in the Sherlock window. 
By default, Sherlock includes a number of Apple-supplied channels, which you see on the Sherlock toolbar. These include the following: Internet Use this channel for your general Internet searches. Pictures With this channel, you can find images related to specific topics. Stocks Use this channel to track your favorite stocks. Movies This is one of the coolest channels. You can use it to find show times and location information for movies you are interested in. You can also view a movie's trailer in the Sherlock window. Phone Book Use this channel to find addresses, phone numbers, and even driving directions for businesses. eBay If you are an eBay fan, this channel is for you. Flights This enables you to find flight information and purchase tickets. Dictionary Use this channel to find correct spellings of specific words or synonyms. Translation This channel enables you to translate words and phrases among various languages. AppleCare Use this channel to search for information from Apple, such as to get help with problems you are having.
NOTE Each Sherlock channel is provided by one or more content providers. When you select a channel, its providers are shown at the bottom of the Sherlock window.
