‘Search Light’ is a new GNOME Shell extension giving us a Spotlight like experience. It acts like the stand search within the GNOME shell, but add a few customization options for the size and color. Still need some work, but I’m looking forward to future development.

It was very new.Bad timing for video , ignore this video overall , It's currently much more better and gets updated regularly.
Successor to Gnome Do, very nice
Can you see the open windows and open programs? Nope, you can't.
You can already do that in Gnome bt default. Why would anyone use an extension for that?
The pop! default launcher/menu looks suspiciously like rofi to me
Is that extension replace the alt f2 run command?
I tried setting it up on Zorin os, running on my Toshiba Tecra z40 B, it doesn't work for me 😢
ArcMenu does the same thing and is more customizable
Found Search Light on some Linux blog post, tried it but ULauncher still the winner for me. Minimal but extremely powerful and extensible.
Oh wow, I really like that. Now I can make everything uniform between my macOS and Linux machines! Lovely find. Thank you!!
Neat, it's like the "present windows" feature in KDE. If I ever use GNOME I'll have to give that a try. By default it popped up when I moused to the upper left corner, but I didn't like not having a shortcut for it and the mouse behavior was annoying if I just knocked into the mouse, so I changed it to open with WinKey+W. I don't use it too often because I organize tasks to specific desktops, but it's cool to look at sometimes.
Great video. Now try to install fildem (it's not compatible with Gnome 43), and it will be almost like macos.
That's nifty, when I used to use windows I used PowerToys to get this behaviour, I'm definitely installing this on my PC
Man that is the sharpest builtin Webcam I have ever seen. Very crisp lines and color depth
I've been using albert for the longest time – it's great and this seems pretty similar. Always good to have alternatives, tho.
As always writing a comment to support the channel
That thing is so sad
It’s doing merely what the gnome super-key does, it’s just smaller
If you have windows try something like flow launcher
I can't believe no one mentioned Krunner 😬
What I understood from my past experience with PopOS and Garuda(arch) linux – better to user as much stock apps as possible and use default theme. This will almost always looks good and will not catch my eye. Currently on mac m1 and I love how this thing works with external 4k display, battery life and complete silence. Basically I switched to mac because of constant noise coming from my Dell XPS.
Does anyone have an alternative to Macbook on M1 to use linux?
i feel there is no reason for spotlight in gnome. the default search bar (IMO) is actually better than spotlight.
