In the example seen in the screenshot below, I wanted to look up my sister’s phone number so I just typed in her first name. While you’re typing away, just press Command (⌘) – Space bar, and the Spotlight field appears on the screen. Using Spotlight to Search Contacts in macOS One of those databases is the Contacts database, so Spotlight can find contact information in a flash. It is an extremely powerful search tool that searches for key words or phrases in emails, documents, the web, and in databases that are part of the operating system. This quick tip makes it a bit faster and easier to search contacts using the power of Spotlight.Īs you probably know from previous articles here on the Rocket Yard, Spotlight is the search engine that’s built into both macOS and iOS. Whether I’m working on my iMac or my iPad Pro, that generally means that I have to stop what I’m doing, launch the Contacts from the Dock or wherever the app may be hiding on the iPad, find the information requested, and then return to my work. It always seems to happen right when I’m in the middle of working on something: somebody needs an email address or phone number for another person.
