ERRATA: During the show I mention that you can manually index a drive by going to the “Get Info” window. Listener Jim questioned me on this and I simply made a mistake on this.  Here is an article from Apple on how to rebuild an index of a drive. My apologies and thanks Jim for catching it.

    Hey Victor, Great Segment! You taught me things that I had no idea could be done in spotlight. I thought you could just search for things. I didn't know you could specify the criteria you mentioned. Really good stuff.

    I wanted to point out something I found out by trial and error. You mentioned using the cmd+enter to open the selected file in the spotlight results. I found out that you can still use the same keystroke to open the folder that the file is inside of. I have many times searched for an Application or a file or folder so that I can drag it to the Dock. Instead of clicking through the finder trying to find it, I just search in Spotlight and when it's highlighted in Spotlight I press cmd+enter and it opens the folder where that file is residing. Then I drag it to the dock. Very Handy.

    Take Care.
    Jim

    Hey Jim glad you liked the segment and part 2 (next week) gets even more geeky. Good point about cmd+enter and yuo sir are correct. That's why I love comments on the blog, we all learn together. Thanks for taking the time.
