And here’s where you’ll learn the most valuable lesson about Spotlight, which Apple has never shared, which is how to search directly using Spotlight’s internal search language, making even complex searches quick and easy. Then it’s on to learning how to find exactly what you’re looking for using keyword searches, multiple-criteria searches, Boolean searches, and more. (There is an occasional anachronism, like references to Address Book, which is called Contacts in Mountain Lion.)Īfter Sharon explains how Spotlight indexes your data and the grammar behind Spotlight searches, you’ll discover the many ways you can start Spotlight searches: the magnifying glass in the menu bar, the search field in Finder windows or the Open and Save dialogs, a keyboard shortcut, a contextual menu, or the customized and saved searches you’ve made for yourself. Mountain Lion? If you want to know how to search better with Spotlight, this ebook remains spot on for Mountain Lion. With Sharon’s help, you can aim Apple’s Spotlight quickly and precisely, and stop rummaging around in the darkness of your hard disk. No matter how carefully you organize files and folders on your Mac, it’s easy to lose important items. Join Sharon Zardetto as she explores the hidden depths of Spotlight searching, one of Mac OS X’s most powerful yet least explained features.
