10.4: Set Command-F to search by 'Name Contains'
Authored by: simX on May 09, '05 05:19:12PM

The code includes many extraneous things, like the sidebar width and the toolbar visible properties near the bottom of the plist file. I would advocate changing the hint a little so that you only replace the necessary text, or you use a GUI utility like the Property List Editor application that's included with the Tiger developer tools.

it is true Omi's version sets some unneccessary parameters...
Also true is that TextWrangler works just fine.
A nice simple version is obtained by using the text:

This together with plutil has worked nicely. unfortunately it only works on indexed disks.

Would it be possible for some knowledgeable person to take the program string offered in the first post and remove all of the unnecessary information that sets the window size, default text string, etc? I would like to have the normal window appear but with "name includes" as the default.
