The Quickest Start
Welcome to InfoClick! The next couple of pages offers the very briefest introduction and covers just
enough to get you using InfoClick.
Why InfoClick? or How is InfoClick different from Spotlight?

Comparing a Spotlight search with an InfoClick find
A few pointers for getting the most out of your InfoClick
• Once you start InfoClick, when you see its icon in your Dock, choose the menu commands
Keep in Dock and Open at Login from the Options menu illustrated in in Figure 14 on page 3.
In that way it will always be no more than one click away.
• The first time you launch InfoClick all your emails stored locally by Apple’s Mail.app will be
indexed in the background. When this indexing is completed InfoClick displays the alert
illustrated in Figure 1.
This only happens once; InfoClick will automatically update itself periodically to include new
emails if you keep it running. For that reason we recommend that you have InfoClick launch
automatically when you log in.

Only emails and RSS feeds downloaded and stored for offline viewing in Apple's Mail application
are searchable by InfoClick.
