I believe they meant they want something that searches only content the user has personally directly accessed, not ALL local content.


Spotlight on Mac will show you recently opened, or frequently opened, files first.


Ordering by "Date Last Opened" or "Date Modified" does a fairly good job in some cases


This does introduce sorting contention though, what to sort for first? relevance or date accessed? Ideally you would want to introduce date accessed as an aspect of relevance itself.


I thought we all disabled access time (mounting with noatime) to avoid trashing SSDs so quickly.
