10.4: Limit Spotlight searches to filenames only
Authored by: sjonke on Jul 20, '05 10:26:54AM

See my comment above - this trick is a keyword and name search, not strictly a name-only search. You can see the keywords for an item by using the command "mdls" at the terminal. Ex:

mdls /path/to/some.file

One of the keywords for that file undoubtably has your search string in it. Indeed it's very likely that Keynote files get the "Title" as a keyword.

Err... I read Keynote when you said PDF. Oops. Anyway, you'll probably find the search string among the keywords for the file
