Today, searching a folder on my main hard drive where I keep 95% of everything, could not find it. Turns out the folder was moved to the icould Drive, I forgot. Is there a way to search, everything, all hardrives, icloud drive. thanks.

Everything locally is just the Spotlight icon in the top right corner of the menubar, but I don't know if it searches iCloud drive.

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

Thanks P for pointing that out, as I so used to using finder for spotlight, I think that one upper right (what call it?) is better. And it does seem to get even the icloud drive.
Question, anyway to expand the box size it bring up?

Actually upper right one P, is kind of weird, you can't focus on searching folders... and today, I searched on a name, and contacts launched and came up. Seems a bit wild compared to normal search.

Hi Jeff k,
You can do this by the help of Spotlight. Spotlight helps any Mac user to find any email, documents, songs, contact and any other thing present on the hard drive.
Spotlight is located in the upper-right corner of your Mac OS screen and it has a magnifying glass icon.
Start a search: You can start a Spotlight search either from the Spotlight menu or through a search window to do a more detail search.
