I’d prefer to use a built-in tool to be honest, but Spotlight never seems to quite cut it.

A big improvement would be the ability to tab between the different result categories, similar to the way you can tab between other UI elements That would allow users to get to their goal faster and would also make the behaviour feel more consistent with the rest of the operating system.

A few additional commands or the ability to launch web searches would also be nice, but better search results and navigation of those results would be a great start.

Here’s hoping for 10.6!

Update:

Aaand of course I just couldn’t find the right shortcut.  In the comments my colleague pointed out a tweet by Scott Stevenson with exactly the shortcut I was after. Thanks Albert & Scott!
