    Reminds me of all the de-crufting you've always needed to do when you install Windows. Looks like we've gotten to the point on macOS too, where you need to run third party scripts on a new OS installation to gain back control of your system resources and remove unwanted crapware.

      What makes you call it crapware? The new spotlight search (from Siri) is amazing and super convenient.

        Can it now consistently find things in /Applications when I type the full name?

        That's revolutionary.

          Yeah in macOS 27 it's finally been really good about prioritizing the Applications folder, including with indexing, apps show up in search now right after you installed them
