Just to throw it out there

gyroscope

I do all my math formulas in Spotlight too! It's really the only thing I use it for.

Thanks @ericzingeler. When I see stuff like this from you and other more advanced users than myself, it really does show how powerful GS can be with some knowledge of formulae
