How do I get spotlight to stop searching until I finish typing a complete search word, or at least the first few letters of the word? What happens is, I begin to type the word, and spotlight annoyingly starts searching the entire system for that single letter, giving me the spinning beachball for 10 seconds or so. There must be a way to avoid this, right?
