10.5: Search for files by name in Finder
Authored by: johnsawyercjs on Nov 14, '07 11:20:21PM

Too bad Apple didn't include easily visible options for configuring Find so we could have Command-F bring up the Find window in whatever configuration we wanted (Find by Name, etc.), without having to resort to a third-party utility to make the modification. You can save a blank "Find by Name" as a Smart Folder, but using such a Find will still require the extra user action of clicking in the Sidebar, where a single Command-F would have been simpler. Also, most people will never even realize there's such a thing as Smart Folders, even with the Save button to the right of the search field.
