Well yeah, I know. I've tried MTL, but finally I've chosen
MarshmallowLibrarian as a better suit for my needs.
I slightly preferred MarshmallowLibrarian too, for little reasons:
(1) It's integrated with the system-wide Find buffer.
(2) I like those marshmallow peeps in the app icon. ;)
BUT it apparently treats underscores as punctuation, so a search for
"objc_msgSend" turns up nothing.
If you're not adverse to programming, you can just write you own
tokenizer and wrap it up as a bundle. There
I'll probably make the default tokenizer read "_" as a character instead
of as a separator for the next version.
Plus, it crashed a couple of times, including once when I tried to
index PDF files. Also, I prefer MT's method of selecting which index
to search. I usually want to search just one index or another (as
opposed to a combination), and MT requires fewer clicks to accomplish
this. So I went back to MT. No regrets; they're both nice.
Every once in a while I check for a newer Marshmallow version
(recognizing that it's free, so I'm not complaining). Just now I tried
to go to <http://www.toastedmarshmallow.com> and apparently it no
longer exists, or is down. John (Hvrnkvist), maybe you can comment on
this?
Trouble with the service provider -- they went out of business. I'll try
to get someone else next week.
Let me know if
http://217.215.121.176 doesn't work.
