10.4: Set Command-F to search by 'Name Contains'
Authored by: genericuser on May 17, '05 10:46:53PM

Has anyone tried to set the default to search only a particular volume?
As suggested above, I created a .savedSearch with search parameters to search by name on the main volume only, then changed it to a .plist, edited the .plist to take out the specific search term. When I change it back to a .savedSearch, it works as expected, but when I save the .plist file to the default_smart.plist file and use Cmd-F, it opens up set to some random search location (usually "Home")-- however, if I then hit Cmd-F a *2nd time*, it switches to the correct search location ("Macintosh HD")-- any idea what's going on here?
