Re: how to search on the mac using spotlight?
Do these podcasts explain how to use spotlight or just finder? I know how to get to spotlight but once I type in something such as keychain I cannot do anything with the results. I can’t figure out how to select the result that I want and then open it. Thanks, Christina -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: how to search on the mac using spotlight?
They focus initially on finder spotlight which is brought up with option command spacebar. I will be extending the series in the new year to cover other aspects of Spotlight in particular searching by date and other tips for spotlight usage.

Re: how to search on the mac using spotlight?
You can find all the Finder Podcasts on the Apple Vis Podcast feed or just go to www.applevis.com http://www.applevis.com/ and put Finder in the search and my Podcasts should come up. The links are still working though as I have checked them. You could also try just looking in your download folder. You may well have downloaded them without realising it as they come down quickly and as they are Pro links they will just come straight down without an intervening web site.. The other thing to try is to copy and paste them rather than into Safari rather than just clicking them.
