In OS X if you have a two button mouse (and you should) if you click both mouse buttons at the same time it will bring up a Find dialog in many applications, including the Finder, Firefox (though I recommend enabling Find as you Type), Safari, ecto, TextMate and many others . I found this a couple months ago and it's a great little time saver.
This offer is too good not to share. If you use the link from the IRS website, you can file your taxes for free through H&R Block. If you're not an H&R Block fan, don't worry, the same link leads to about a dozen other places you can file for free.
