Hi John, I've heard a lot of good things about the take control series. If you cancer, please explain why the arrow key functionality within spotlight was taken away. As far as search criteria, if I enter a file name, or name of an artist within spotlight, I get everything but either of what I'm looking for. I don't understand what you mean by simple searches. I thought entering the proper file name or song name constituted a simple search. What am I missing? Please explain. Thanks much.

Realistically, Spotlight is designed to give more functionality to simple searches. It is not a matter of using the arrow keys any longer. Information is presented in table format based on the results. Remember that you can use ways to phrase your search criterion to make Spotlight more effective. If you depend on Spotlight, I highly recommend the Take Control of Spotlight for Finding Anything on Your Mac. Take Care John D.
