Can anyone direct me to an .icns file with the spotlight icon in on my system?

Cheers,

/System/Library/CoreServices/Search.bundle:Show Package Contents:Resources/Spotlight.icns

So basically look in CoreServices for Search.bundle, open it up, look in the Resources folder for Spotlight.icns

Try using Spotlight!

(Not meant to be a smart ass reply.)

I don't think you can use Spotlight to search for such files, like the ones in the Core Services folder.

Thanks mate, I was having a look around CoreServices but couldn't lay my finger on it ;)

Sure! I knew I had seen it in CoreServices before, but where, I didn't have a clue. Ten minutes later, it made sense that it'd be in Search.bundle. Enjoy!

I am curious: why do you want to know? Is it to change the default icon? If it is, please post the end result. :)

Nope not so interesting, I needed it to export it as a transparent png so I could use it in some gfx word.
