Apple added a lot of new features to Spotlight in OS X 10.10 Yosemite. The list of new capabilities includes searching the App Store, Wikipedia pages and quick calculations. For some, however, Spotlight would benefit from additional features and capabilities.
For example, wouldn't it be nice to search Google or Amazon directly from Spotlight? What about getting current weather conditions along with a forecast for the next few days? Or running Terminal commands without actually launching Terminal? All would be welcome additions, right?
You can add that functionality to Spotlight by downloading a free app called Flashlight.

The next time you launch Spotlight, take advantage of its new functionality.
