“I Never…”

Find it for Me: Spotlight.

Spotlight:

Spotlight is an as-you-type, system-wide desktop search feature found in Mac OS X v10.4. Using a metadata search engine, Spotlight is designed to locate a wide variety of items on the computer, including documents, pictures, music, applications, System Preference panes, as well as specific words in documents and PDFs. It allows the user to narrow down searches with creation dates, modification dates, sizes, types and other attributes.

Sounds pretty bad-ass, right? It is.

We Don’t Need Your Stinkin’ Desktop Search! IRC Brilliance Re-visited.

HIM: So what query input field were you talking about? That of Spotlight?
ME: in the top right-hand corner of the window there is an input field.
ME: type: Display.
HIM: Would that work if I cancelled Spotlight?
ME: what do you mean by, "Cancelled spotlight"?
HIM: I disabled it.
ME: why would you do that?
HIM: Because I never search for anything.
