10.6: Search by folder by default on 10.6

For those who haven't noticed it yet, there's a minor but long-overdue change in 10.6: The Finder Preferences' Advanced tab now features a drop-down menu that allows you to pick the default search behavior. You can choose from Search this Mac, Search the Current Folder, and Use the Previous Search Scope.

[robg adds: Due to the number of hints here related to changing default search behavior in 10.5, I felt it worth publishing this one on its own, despite it being neither obvious nor undocumented.]
