Using Spotlight with macOS
Spotlight is a system wide metadata indexing system that Apple has been
shipping since OS X 10.4 Tiger
, and has been improved over the years with each OS. I like using Spotlight for some tasks
and general searching for files in Terminal.app. I also use it for finding anything on my Mac. Typically, I do not use my mouse
or trackpad to find files or navigate to folders. One just needs to hit cmd + spacebar
on their Mac to pull up the Spotlight
search menu and start typing. If you use a Mac, there is a good chance you also use this regularly like I do. This isn’t
anything groundbreaking or new, but I have enjoyed using Spotlight over the years when it fits as a good tool.
