Hi, In spotlight, I do the following:
• Press cmd-space to open Spotlight. • Enter the search term. • Use the down arrow to find what I'm looking for. • Press enter. • To get back to the list, go to the Finder and press cmd-space once again. I prefer the following method though: • Press cmd-f from in the Finder. • Enter your search term. • Press return. • Navigate to the results list. • Find what I'm looking for. • Press cmd-o or VO-space on the item. You can also Stop Interacting with the list of results then navigate right to the Path List where you will be told the exact location of this item. If you use the search area within a given Finder window, you can limit your search to that folder which can make you search much easier to browse through. Later...
