Finder-like message searching in Mail

Searching for files (sans-Spotlight) in a Finder window is easy – you can click in the window and start typing to track down the file or folder you're looking for. Wouldn't it just be the cat's meow if you could use this same method to find messages in Mail? Apparently Ken Ferry agrees, so he created an open source add-on to Mail by the name of Mail Type Select. Install this little bad boy and you can start typing in Mail's message list to start searching – the Finder window way. If you're after the source, look no further than farther down the page.
