I'm glad you find it amusing, but perhaps you'd benefit from some understanding of what Spotlight is designed for:
Spotlight is a system-wide desktop search feature of Apple's Mac OS X operating system. Spotlight is a selection-based search system, which creates a virtual index of all items and files on the system. It is designed to allow the user to quickly locate a wide variety of items on the computer, including documents, pictures, music, applications, and System Preferences. In addition, specific words in documents and in web pages in a web browser's history or bookmarks can be searched.
I'm glad you find it amusing, but perhaps you'd benefit from some understanding of what Spotlight is designed for:
It only searches the browser history or bookmarks stored on your computer, not the internet. To make it the top hit, follow the instructions in my first post.Spotlight does have a search web for feature. My question is, how do I make it the top hit. Or at least make it appear at the top. It's a new feature.
That's new for Lion. Dragging webpages to the top in Preferences should put the search results on top. If it doesn't, it's a limitation of the new Lion feature.Image
There's a section for webpages, and a section for 'search web for'.
Check out the attached pic. I've literally taken a screen shot of it.
