I don't know how I missed this one but, apparently spotlight (or maybe just Leopard) has a help function that will now find menu items and not just items in the actual help documentation. At first I thought this was just a feature that was built into iWork as that was where I first discovered it but, low and behold, I quickly switched over to Safari and it works there too.

The easiest way to explain this is fire up Safari, hit help on the menu (or shift-cmd-?) and start typing (ie: bookmark) what you will see is two sets of results one "Menu items" and another "Help Topics". Now arrow down through the "Menu Items" and you'll see this cool floating arrow show you exactly where these items are in the menu. Want to do something cool with this? Type in something that is in your browsing history and it will automatically take you to the title of that item in your history. Very cool.

Check out the video on this if you aren't privy to owning a Mac or a Mac with Leopard on it.
