Technology Brief
Mac OS X: Spotlight
Mac OS X: Spotlight
Mac OS X version 10.4 “Tiger” introduces Spotlight, a new desktop search technology
that finds virtually anything on your computer as quickly as you can type. Built into
the core of Mac OS X, Spotlight searches across your applications and files, locating—
in an instant—what you need with pinpoint accuracy. Just as web search engines
have changed the way you use the Internet, Spotlight will change the way you use
your personal computer.

your personal computer.
Spotlight is fast. Spotlight starts returning results before you finish typing. Because it’s
built into the core of Mac OS X, Spotlight knows about files you have changed, added, or
deleted on your Mac—ensuring accurate, up-to-the-moment results.

Spotlight is simple. Spotlight streamlines your search into a single field. There’s no need
to select from complex options or learn a query language. You only need to type a few
letters to make Spotlight find what you are looking for. Spotlight is built into the Mac
OS X menu bar, so you can start a search at any moment, no matter what application
you are using. And the same innovative search technology powers the search field in the
Finder, Mail, Address Book, and System Preferences.

Spotlight is comprehensive. Spotlight searches across your documents, images,
movies, music, PDFs, email, calendar events, and system preferences. It can find some-
thing by its text content, filename, or information associated with it, known as metadata.
This allows you to find a photo by entering the brand of camera that took it, the name
of the person who emailed it to you, or the date you last opened it. With built-in support
for the most popular formats, Spotlight can find virtually anything on your system.

Spotlight keeps you organized. With Spotlight, you can organize and access informa-
tion on your computer in ways never before possible. For example, you can use Smart
Folders to create groups of files based on a search rule. Each time you open a Smart
Folder, Spotlight instantly collects all files that match the search rule, no matter where
they’re actually stored. Spotlight technology enables Smart Mailboxes in Mail and Smart
Groups in Address Book. Spotlight also gives you the freedom not to organize at all:
Simply leave your files anywhere on your system and ask Spotlight to find what you
need, when you need it.
