10.4: Set Command-F to search by 'Name Contains'
Authored by: jph000 on May 19, '05 08:48:02PM

"... am i missing something here. it seems to me that the default "name contains" search is already applicable by typing in the keywords in the Find windows search field. it seems superfluous or duplicative to add a name contains criteria to the search ..."

I thought so at first also. However, this week in testing Spotlight, I've found that I'm getting different results -- using the same search string, I'm getting different results using a Finder Window (search box) and cmd-f Name Contains search. All of which is puzzling and frustrating. (Yes, I've reindexed the volumes in question more than once.) I can be looking directly at a picture folder window, and cmd-f will find all the jpg files with names containing the substring, while the Finder Window search box will not.
