Search for apps in Launchpad on Apple Mac

The previous version of Mac OS X, Lion, added a new app launcher named Launchpad, which looks and feels like the way you launch apps on any iOS device — except it was missing one key feature that drew people to solutions like Alfred (a popular search-based application launcher), and that is the ability to quickly search for the title of the application you want to use.  Now with Mountain Lion’s update to Launchpad you can.  Just start typing as soon as Launchpad is displayed, and in a few short keystrokes, the list of apps will shrink, until only the app you wanted is left.  You can even set up a shortcut key in the keyboard preferences to Show Launchpad and get you where you want to be even faster.  This shortcut is disabled by default.
Take advantage of Apple’s Mac upgrade event and look to see what other behaviors you can tweak to make your day-to-day OS X behaviors more productive.
