It integrates with Finder via system services (Search, Search Similar, Browse) and supports actions like opening with the default or active application, copying the path to the clipboard, QuickLook previews, and dragging items to any app to open, copy, move, or link them. User-definable actions allow custom scripts or external executables to be run against search results.
