Drag & Drop from Spotlight in Mac OS X

[Geek]

<p>You can drag and drop files directly from Spotlight to elsewhere in the OS X Finder. To try it out, use Command+Space to search for something, then click and hold on the item while dragging it out of the Spotlight menu. </p>

<p>Default behavior moves the file from it’s source location to the new destination, but if you hold own the Option key during the process you can make a copy of the file instead. To undo the location change, hit Command+Z.</p>

<p>This can be much faster than digging around in the file system to locate a document or folder manually, especially with files buried far within subfolders. OS X Lion or later is required to use drag and drop in <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/spotlight/">Spotlight</a>. </p>
