There’s a few big improvements:
1. Global Keyboard Shortcuts for activating Threshold and web search. Edit them, turn them on or off, and select google or yubnub for the search engine in preferences.
2. Auto-complete. When using an context that involves searching, Threshold will help you out by suggesting and auto-completing what you’re looking for. Examples:
-When typing a Finder...

Some new contexts:
