Hi, i'm reluctantly using Windows 7 on a new netbook i've got (coming from a Mac-only environment), and since i can't stand Launchy i'm trying to use FARR as my Quicksilver substitute. For the most part it's OK, but one of the things i can't figure out is how to get FARR to score items based on each individual search, not based on a global history.
As an example, on my Mac i've got Quicksilver set up to return results the following way:
- searching for the text dr returns as the first result the Dropbox FOLDER (~/Dropbox)
- searching for the text drop returns as the first result the Dropbox APPLICATION (/Applications/Dropbox.app)
I can not get FARR to do this. Instead, FARR weights each result as if it exists in a vacuum -- so, for example, if i've launched the Dropbox folder 6 times and the Dropbox application 5 times, then the Dropbox folder will be returned for both
dr and
drop.
Is there any way i can change this (without adding 'key words' or any other extra text)?
On a related note -- another thing that comes along with Quicksilver's per-search history is that in QS you can right-click an item in the results list and choose 'make this default for <current search text>'. This way you can quickly and easily set any arbitrary result to be the top match for a specific search (the FARR equivalent might be adding +9999 score or something). Can this be done too without manually adding every single result i want (and deleting them later if i change my mind) in the 'pattern scoring' options?
