Alex, use spot light. there are two ways to get to it. 1. command plus space bar 2. vo keys plus m 3 times You can configure to search in the whole computer, or you can get more specific about what you want and how you want to display the results. You configure that on spot light preferences. depend upon how your mac is configured to open items, when you find what you want in the results you either open by: command plus o or just vo space bar
