Tip 1 of 35: Make the Spotlight window sticky
This might be a bug or it might be a feature but give a try and see what you think.
When using Spotlight in Yosemite, you can right-click (or Ctrl+click) the Spotlight icon at the top right of the desktop to make the window stay on top and not disappear in the usual way when you click outside of it. This way you can grab as much info as you need without the fear of accidentally cancelling your search.
The Spotlight icon will turn blue to indicate this new sticky mode (or grey if you use the Graphite colour scheme).
Subsequently, the only way to make the Spotlight window disappear is to left-click the Spotlight icon. Or if that doesn't work, cmd-space again.
Strangely, the Notifications icon at the top right will also turn blue if you right-click it, but this trick doesn’t work there — the Notifications area will still disappear when you click outside of it. Intriguing!
