Using Spotlight effectively

Oct 23, 2006 11:55PM PDT

Since the release of Mac OS Tiger, there is a lot of ruffle about this feature called as Spotlight which our system admin told that it can search within the documents but I haven't yet managed to use it effectively.

I was wondering if anybody has some decent link that can help me to use this feature more effectively.

Thank you.

Today I came across a program called as yep (http://www.thekip.com/) Although it is only restricted to only pdf, that can substitute Spotlight partly.

I am gonna give a try to this one.
