Teach me to find any file on my Mac faster
Teaches five ways to find a file on a Mac, from name to content to date, and builds three example searches for files you often lose.
Task:
Teach me five ways to find a file on my Mac when I only remember part of what it was.
Context:
The files I lose most are [kinds of files, for example invoices, photos, drafts]. What I usually remember is [what you remember, for example a word inside, the month, the sender]. I save files in [where you save files].
Rules:
- Order the ways from the one that needs the least typing to the one that needs the most.
- For each way, say what I must remember for it to work and where in Finder or Spotlight to start, and tell me to confirm the exact steps on my Mac because they differ by macOS version.
- Do not suggest commands that change or delete files. If a method uses the Terminal, say that it only reads and explain what it does before I run it.
Result:
Five numbered items in three short lines each (when to use it, how to start, what to remember). Then three example searches built from my own details, each as one sentence.
