Should be some more refinements and improvements. Let's keep the comments to this thread if possible.

Thank you Charlie. Will get it after dinner. Since the first beta I have has network share issues that the same computer with Mojave does not have. Hope they fixed it. Many complaining when I did a search.

I think they fixed a Finder bug that I reported recently. It seems to be fixed for me but the search is a bit slow. Try the if you don't mend and see what happens:

1. Open a Finder window and enter a search term in the window (not in Spotlight).
2. When the search completes click the "This Mac" option to shift focus of the search to the entire Mac rather than the folder where you started.

If the bug still exists, the Finder will hang for some time and need to be relaunched. You will be able to relaunch but the search won't have completed and every time you try this the Finder hangs.

I've only done a few test runs since I downloaded the update earlier tonight but this seems to be fixed.

The update seems to have taken longer than usual to complete. At one point I though the update had crashed and I would be forced to power down and force a restart.
