Spotlight, searches anything on your system instantly like itunes. Including system preferences. Type monitor into spotlight and click on the relevant icon to change its options. It searches within every file including text within pdfs. So, type in 'mum' every email, every photo, every video, every document with that term, contact details EVERYTHING. Will appear on your screen before you have finished the word. Smart folders works with that so you can set up a folder that instantly updates, so if you have a folder called 'cable forum' and you get an email from the forum it will INSTANTLY appear in the folder without you even reading the mail or doing ANYTHING. You can set the folders options as far as you want to limit to dates, names, words, file types, etc etc and so on. Same with spotlight search, so you can search for really relevant terms. So you can look for all your work, between a certain date that contains the term 'kill boss'
Look it up, its great
