I agree that Dash has improved a lot. Wow. I still get the creeps with that stupid cat, but the product looks very useful indeed. Nice adjunct to the XCode docs browser.

> Dash, a doc browser by kapeli.com, addresses this issue elegantly. You can specify a prefix that you type before your search term that indicates which SDK you want to search. Thereafter it assumes you want to keep searching that SDK and supplies the prefix for you. You can always manually delete the prefix or switch it to a different SDK. I use "m:" for Mac stuff and "i:" to mean iOS stuff.

I am only developing for OS X at the moment, and all the iOS docs are irrelevant to my needs. I'm still getting duplicate hits for 10.7 and 10.8 but I can live with those I guess.
