Spotlight

Spotlight is an easy way to find anything on your MacBook Pro, such as documents, contacts,
calendar events, and email messages. Spotlight Suggestions offer info from Wikipedia articles,
Bing search results, news, sports, weather, stocks, movies, and other sources.

When you search with Spotlight, the preview area on the right provides search results you can
interact with—make a call, send an email message, play a song, get directions, even convert
currencies. Spotlight can provide answers to math questions or define words, all on your desktop.
Search for anything. Click at the top right of the screen, then start typing.

Tip: Type Command–Space bar to show or hide the Spotlight search field.
