Tiger's other visible new feature is Dashboard.
Even the tidiest and most organised among us occasionally mislay or lose things, so Spotlight will be a firm favourite with most Mac owners.
It works like a charm and really can find almost anything on your Mac. On the other hand, if your bedroom floor is strewn with clothes and muddles, this new addition will soon be your best friend. If you're the sort of person who has separate drawers for socks and T-shirts then Spotlight may not be too useful. Just click on any file to open it and away you go. Once the index has been built you can type any text in the Spotlight window and almost instantly any file that includes the search term will be listed in a Spotlight window. Indexing can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. Once you're up and running Tiger sets about indexing the entire contents of your Mac's hard drive so that the new Spotlight feature will be able to find almost anything on your Mac. However, to be certain that things go smoothly we'd recommend that you repair disk permissions both before and after installation. Upgrading to Tiger is a painless process, and we installed it on four different Macs to check compatibility. It belies the fact that it heralds an era of 64-bit computing, new core graphics and audio, as well as delicious eye-candy in the form of Dashboard's Widgets.
