There's a great feature in OS X (since version 10.4. Current version is 10.4.8) called Spotlight.
Spotlight helps you find anything fast.
Here's a little example of Spotlight: Say you want to change your wallpaper (it's called the desktop or desktop picture on a Mac. Coming from a PC, you'd probably type "wallpaper" in the Spotlight window of the System Preferences and as you type it will start narrowing your search visually by "spotlighting" what it thinks you are looking for and give you a list of possibilities.
Any system setting can be found this way by searching in the System Preferences:
Type "IP" to get your IP address.
Type "Windows" to set up Windows file sharing.
Type "port" to show or setup network ports.
Spotlight is available system-wide and is the fastest way to find anything (file, picture, email, etc.) on your Mac.
Here's Apple's
Spotlight page.
You're going to love OS X.
