Spotlight is the powerful search engine that’s included with Mac OSX Tiger which searches for files on your Mac. One easy way to access Spotlight is to click on the magnifying glass icon in the upper right hand corner of the Finder. Another “click less” way to access it is to press Command + Space, and if you want to bring up the full Spotlight window press Command + Shift + Space.
