Have you upgraded to the latest OS X release yet? Have you experienced the all new look and feel of the smartest Apple OS to date? I’m here to tell you all about the new and improved Spotlight search in 10.10 Yosemite! Spotlight has been around for the last several operating systems, but it’s experienced a revitalization. By simply pressing Command-Spacebar on your keyboard, Spotlight will now appear front and center. Go ahead try it…cool right?! This allows you to quickly find that research paper you desperately need to turn in before 9AM, or that song you’ve been dying to hear again. Moreover, Spotlight will provide suggestions stemming from all the latest sources like Wikipedia, iTunes, Maps, etc. Spotlight will provide you with currency or unit conversions, so there is no longer a need to open Safari to see how many dollars you have in euros. Spotlight can open any of your Apps, and it learns what you tend to be looking for from your previous searches.
If you haven’t upgraded yet, I highly suggest you do. Experience the excitement of the all new Yosemite, OS 10.10, available for free download in the App Store. As always, make sure to back up prior to upgrading, and if you have an older computer, check out the system requirements for Yosemite here.
