Notification Center widgets: In earlier versions of the Mac OS, if you wanted to venture outside the Mac and pull in data from the Internet, you turned to Dashboard. Spotlight can now pull in information from the Internet. The net result means more efficient searching and fewer trips to your web browser to find the information you desire.

With Yosemite, Spotlight will now incorporate and provide previews of results from the Internet, including Bing search results, map data, news headlines, Wikipedia entries, Apple’s store content listings, and movie showtimes. If you wanted to move farther afield you could select the Search Web For or Search Wikipedia For entries at the bottom of the Spotlight menu, which were little more than Safari shortcuts. Spotlight: In the past, Spotlight was a perfectly fine tool for searching the contents of your Mac, producing dictionary results, and performing calculations. Three key elements of Apple allowing you to more easily work beyond its borders are Spotlight, Notification Center widgets, and iCloud Drive. The other is making it easier for you to work with your data on the most appropriate device available to you. The first is creating an operating system that plays better with data outside Apple’s control. With Yosemite, Apple is further loosening the constraints of computing via two broad efforts.
Under Mountain Lion and Mavericks this was evident as iCloud was designed to sync much of the data it had under its control-your email, contacts, calendars, notes, Safari bookmarks, photos, music, and files from apps that once belonged to the iWork and iLife suites (as well as TextEdit and Preview documents). The cloud is a key component in that it provides the means for making your data available to all these points of entry, and transparently so. What you’re largely concerned with is being able to work with those files, regardless of whether you’re using a Mac, an iOS device, or accessing them via a web browser. In this case your Mac is just another device (although an important one) that has access to your files. In recent years, Apple has turned instead to a stuff-centric scheme.
