CHANGING THE ORDER OF THE RESULTS

Let's say you realize that most of the time you find yourself searching for music, movies, and photos (you're a creative type). Well, by default those result categories appear farther down the list (with stuff like Documents and Email and Contacts appearing near the top of the list). And because of that, you've been spending a lot of time scrolling. It doesn't have to be that way. Go to the Spotlight Preferences (found at the bottom of the Spotlight menu), and when it appears, all the categories are listed in the order they will appear. To change their order, just click-and-drag them into the order you want (in this case, you'd drag Music, Movies, and Images to the top).
