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.
