How to use Spotlight Search on Mac to quickly go to a web site – and a BONUS TIP!

Post Views: 173

I’m always looking for shortcuts to get my work done faster on my Mac. So, it was out of the blue when I tried the below, and it actually worked!

Suppose you need to get to a web site quickly. Sure, you can manually open Safari and type in a URL. But then I thought ‘there HAS to be a faster way.’

Just do the below:

Activate Spotlight Search on your Mac (usually [Command]+[Spacebar]).
Now type in the web site you wish to go to (such as https://www.amazon.com).
Safari will open and go to the web site that you’ve typed in.
That’s it.

BONUS TIP:

Suppose you want to do a quick calculation without using the calculator? Again, use Spotlight Search!

Activate Spotlight Search.
Enter a math problem (such as 42+23)
It will give you the answer of 65 right on the search bar, plus other related information for those numbers.
That’s it.
