[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1724749, member: 234411"] [I]Spotlight[/I] may still be your best choice, although the features will depend on which OS X you have installed? But check in 'System Preferences' and look at the 'Spotlight' settings - shown in the first image below are my settings (on OS X 10.11.6) which includes a web search using Bing - not sure if there is a way to alter to another search engine, such as Google - others may be helpful. In the second image, using Spotlight, I enter 'Helen Keller' and received 'hits' in my Mail & Messages (related to a trip a few years ago to Keller's house in Alabama) but mostly ones on the web - so, check your settings and let us know.
