When we talk about an operating system, the first thing that comes to mind is file management. We have so many files on our computers, all stored in multiple locations, and it can get very tricky sometimes to get hold of a file at the spur of the moment.
To make this process a little easier, Apple has included, not one, but two different methods to search for files on your Mac. Both these methods give you real-time results, but keep in mind, that if you have a lot of fo files, the search times can vary.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to search for a file by typing its name on the Mac.
