"Tip: Paste search strings
We previously noted that one of the biggest user gripes with Mac OS X 10.4.x's Spotlight is a sometimes dramatic pause that occurs after typing one or two characters, as Spotlight begins searching immediately for all data containing those letters.
MacFixIt reader Tracy Valleau offers a simple tip for avoiding this slow-down—typing the search string in an open text field then copying and pasting the text into the Spotlight search field.
Tracy writes:
"To dramatically speed up Spotlight or Find, just paste the search term in, instead of typing it.""
Übersetzt: Nachdem man ein oder zwei Buchstaben in's Suchfeld eingegeben hat kommt es zu teilweise "dramatischen" Pausen !
Lösung: Such-String in ein anderes Textfeld eingeben, dorten kopieren, und dann schwupps in's Spotlight-Suchfeld per Paste einfügen.
Das führt zu dramatischen Geschwindigkeits-Gewinnen !
