Faster Freeware Searching on Apple Downloads Site (Video)

Jay Hilgert — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 20:20:22 +0000

I’d like to show you a very quick time-saving search tip that I use to find freeware on the Apple site. We all love freeware, so let get our grubby hands on it even quicker, shall we? Have a watch.

Super Fast Freeware Searching on Apple Downloads Site from Jay Hilgert on Vimeo.

Alternatively, you can search by keyword (type in “freeware”) using a Custom Google Search Engine. I created one below for the Imaging and 3D category on the Apple downloads site. Here is the homepage for the search engine if you’d like to bookmark it. You can create a search engine for any category, or the entire downloads section if your heart so desires.

I hope these two quick tips saves you some time. Happy searching :)
