Spotlight is getting a big upgrade, in large part due to Apple Intelligence. Now when you search something on Spotlight, you’ll see all types of results (files, folders, events, apps, messages) listed together and ranked using AI based on relevance to the user.
With filtering options, you can narrow down your search by specifically searching for a PDF, for example. Spotlight can also be used to carry out specific tasks, like sending an email, creating a note, or playing a podcast. And with quick keys, users can set short strings of characters that get them to a specific action they assign.
