    Nice app. Great launcher, as is Launchy.

    This is my favorite launcher program that I've found so far. The learning curve is extremely low, provided you know how to type.

    This is NOT a point and click utility.

    @bugmenot: use the arrow keys. If you want to change a colibri setting, type 'colibri'.

    I've rated it a 4 because it's defenitely my favorite amongst all the launchers. The new version has a couple bugfixes and hints at new features such as themes and choosing where Colibri can and can't search. Hopefully we'll get to see a more full update later.

    Edit: This has gone past ver 11 alpha to 14a.

    Hmm... the app has some potential, but I give it a 3 because:
    - I never get to reach app's settings; I press ctrl+space then tab and instead of Settings, Hotekey, all I get is Windows Firewall icon!? And there's no other way to get to settings...
    - then I type in something to search and in the list I can see he found... 1 of 8 for instance, but there's no way for you to scroll that list or to launch any of the apps found in that list. Then, why do I get to see that list if it's only 25% usable?
    - there's no way to know what app version you are using... u know, that Help - About (read your app version here)
    All of those issues found in 10 mins... how do you guys rate so high? You high on drugs?

    Nice program. Launchy is faster and appears to use less resources (also freeware)
