Old Henny Youngman joke:
A man goes to his doctor complaining of pain. “Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do this!”
The doctor says, “Then don’t do that!”
Don’t know about everyone else, but I stopped using Sherlock quite a long time ago. Don’t care for anything “polling” my drive(s) that might contribute to possible conflicts arising between different operating systems/files on different drives… or, in the more specific case of OS 9 and OS X residing on the same single drive… as many perhaps still do.
There are numerous (better), alternative web search-engines available and Sherlock might be best left to searching only on your machine alone… if at all.
But yes, Sherlock is missed around here…
“Sherlock was replaced by Spotlight and Dashboard in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, although Apple continued to include it with the default installation.
Since most of the standard plug-ins for Sherlock provided by Apple itself no longer function, it was officially retired and removed in the release of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard in 2007.” -

Sorry, not better news for you... maybe someone else here may provide "otherwise".
