Version: 1.2.0
Oddly, if you go to the Dev website, what downloads is v1.0.1, which BOMBS on M-Series Macs. Thankfully, v1.2.0 downloaded from MU works fine. That's good, because Apple's hobbled and blundering (IMHO of course) Spotlight can use all the help it can get. I hate Spotlight! BUT also notice that Flashlight hasn't been updated since 2019. As such, good luck having it recompiled to be ARM native. We can dream.

Version: 1.1.0
There is no version 1.1.0. The latest version is Version 1.0.1 and it was released in 2015. The GitHub page shows no changes in 2 years and says it's no longer maintained. No idea where MacUpdate got this "update" from.

This looks REALLY interesting, unfortunately the Dev does not disclose that it uses a fork of SIMBL to work its magic (injecting code into Spotlight). Details here:

So.. if you're running in, or worried about a secure environment, you MIGHT want to steer clear. Remember, Apple discourages code injection & InputManagers in Yosemite.
