So apparently Spotlight can't see any apps that are hidden or are in Categories folders, but I stumbled on the solution... SpotBright!
Its on the BigBoss repo and works like a freakin charm, it basically combines the best parts of Spotlight and Quickgold! It saves your most frequent searches and can look inside Categories folders/hidden apps. I was stoked to find this app and am surprised more people haven't been talking about it, it keeps Spotlight relevant on a jailbroken iphone.
Anyone heard when Snapture will work with the new 3GS?
Since Winterboard doesn't work there's no way to get custom backgrounds yet huh?
