A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 115. I often hear people complaining that Spotlight is “broken” in OS X. I happen to be a big fan of Spotlight and think on the whole it works fairly well. Many Spotlight issues can be helped with a little more advanced knowledge of how Spotlight works and a few simple tricks. In this show we will explore how to make your results more relevant and accurate.
