10.4: Speed up Spotlight searches via paste
Authored by: tifighter on Jun 08, '05 03:37:51PM

This functionality is built-in to Tiger as well. Just highlight the word or phrase and command-click on it. In the contectual menu there is 'Search in Spotlight.' This is along with 'Search in Google' and 'Lookup in Dictionary.'

"command-shift-F" for a selection

The 'control' key is probably what you meant, for getting a contextual menu.

However -- if a word selection is what we want to search on -- even easier is
to type command-shift-F. (This shortcut can be seen in the Services sub-menu).
