Compared to the "old way" of searching, Spotlight searches are virtually instantaneous and they produce far more relevant results. Apple best describes what now happens in Tiger to support Spotlight: "Every time a file is created, saved, moved, copied, or deleted, the file system automatically ensures that the file is properly indexed, cataloged, and ready for whatever search query might be issued."īecause of the constant indexing of every file written to the hard drive(s) in your Mac, searches using Spotlight complete in somewhere between 1 - 2 seconds on a G5, and a little longer on the mini or on a PowerBook G4. The other big feature of Tiger is its system-wide, fully indexed meta-data based search engine called Spotlight.
