Register is "Spot On" in Assessment of OS X Browsing Experience
The IT Register of the UK reviewed Jaguar and gave it mixed ratings as I would. One comment I found was right on the money. It was the last paragraph in the story but for me easily the most telling:
The third, and I'd suggest biggest drawback of using a Macintosh right now - and this is worse, not better in Jagwyre - is that the web browsing experience is awful. The lovely OmniWeb browser is undergoing a major overhaul, Chimera is promising but immature, and while the Mac version of Internet Explorer is preferable in several ways to the Windows version, in its OS X incarnation it's a serious disaster. To sell Macintosh computers to that huge middle ground between novices and geeks, Apple needs to offer a great browser.

| If you need to find the proverbial needle
in a hay stack, or a hard to find document, the new Jaguar Finder comes
to the rescue.
Also, check out the content search. Find by content will search the contents
of documents that Jaguar can read - including PDF! You have control over
the indexing process too. Just select a folder and choose Get
Info…
Choose Find from the File menu in the Finder and you
will get a panel/dialog that allows you build a sophisticated search request.
You can add multiple properties (filename starts with <something>
and ends with <something else>, size is greater than <n> and
less than <m>, etc.) so find the hardest to find files. You can
point the search at specific places like a hard drive, network volume,
home directory or the default, everywhere. |

For Find by Content, you have full control over the indexing
process too. Select a folder (like your Documents folder) and choose Get
Info... The Content index: panel lets you create, update or delete the
index.
