Please answer on-list. I use spotlight successfully, but only if the first hit is the one I want. I type in what I want, mostly for apps, and hit enter, and am told how many results were found and what the first one was. However, vo-arrowing does nothing in the spotlight window, so I have no way of viewing the rest of the results. Tab also does nothing, and nor does uninteracting with the search field.
