10.5: Add conditional Spotlight parameters to searches
[This comment actually applies to the main article, but the "post a comment" link is missing.]
I had a difficult time getting this hint to work, for a couple of reasons. So I'm posting this for the benefit of others: First, the phrase "In a Spotlight search window" means "In a Spotlight search *results* window" (i.e., the larger window that appears after performing a search in "little Spotlight" in the menu bar). Secondly, the next step in the hint is "holding down the Option key while clicking the add button." I kept option-clicking the add button, but was not seeing *any* of what this hint described. Finally, I discovered that in the Action menu (the rectangular button with the gear icon) there's an item called "Show search criteria." This feature has to be enabled (i.e., criteria showing) in order for this hint to work. I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned in the hint. Especially since it seems to be disabled by default. (Either that or some setting carried over from Tiger caused it to be disabled on my machine, preventing this hint from working.)
