Tiger only hintIf you wish to perform a Spotlight search in the Finder and do the search only using filters or if you wish to select the filters first, here's how.

Just press the Space bar in the Finder's Spotlight field. The space character will automatically erase, and the filtering options will appear. This can be useful, say, if you wanted to create a list of all files that met a certain criteria -- all documents created in the Home folder in the last seven days.
