Tembo – Friendly File Search Assistant for the Mac.
Find documents, mail messages, images, videos, etc.
Tembo helps you sort through search results by providing context-sensitive filters. The drill-down views for different groups show different filters. Most filters provide a list of values found in the current search results. Select a value to see only results matching that value.
E.g. the filter sidebar for the Documents group list file types. The PDF Documents group can be filtered by author. Images can be filtered by resolution and file type. Etc.

tmbo://search?searchString=Houdah&groupKey=DOCUMENTS&queryFocus=name
Such URLs can be invoked by any application, launcher, script, etc. In this article we will look at setting up a search template in LaunchBar.
