I checked mine and documents was already checked. I would think they
would set spotlight to search documents by default. That seems like the
primary use case for it.

If you're going to use Spotlight to quickly find documents, make sure
the "documents" category is checked under Spotlight preferences. I
kept wondering why it didn't find my grocery list, then I opened
Spotlight preferences and saw that the "documents" category was
unchecked.

Even better, you can do command-space which brings up spotlight and
just type a few characters of the file you're wanting. It will then,
more or less instantly, show a list of matches. You can navigate this
list to get to the specific file. Search on Windows was always
horribly slow to the point of using it only in desperation. Spotlight
is fast enough that some even use it as an app launcher by typing in
Saf and arrowing down to find Safari and launch it.

I have not received my mac yet but was wondering if you have a run
command and you can type the drive with the folder and the name of
the file. For example: in windows you can do windows run to run and
c:/folder name / name of file. I was just wondering because that is
how I get to my files on the pc. If you don't, I wrote down the
command to get to the files folder for the mac. Thanks Heather
