Spotlight

Spotlight is one of the best things on a Mac. Located on the very top right of your Mac desktop it is an essential tool for you to use.

Click on it and a box will appear underneath:



Type a word in here. Spotlight will search for this word in the TITLE, the BODY, or the NOTES of any file on the computer at lightning speeds. It will also look in MAIL (if you use it), the Dictionary, web pages you've been to, MOVIE names, Presentations, music etc.

I searched for "grant" and here were the results: You can click on SHOW ALL and it will pop out into a FINDER WINDOW with all the search results. Also, if you roll over the file found slowly, a yellow box will come up and tell you where you saved it!
