Start making use of Spotlight.... it only gets better
Here is some of things posted at the Leopard sneak peak site in
regards to Spotlight and finding things
"Look deeper.
From the Finder or the menu bar, Spotlight in Leopard lets you
search for more specific sets of things. Use Boolean logic to narrow
search results by entering “AND,” “OR,” or “NOT” into a search
request. You can also search for exact phrases (using quotation
marks), dates, ranges (using greater than [>] and less than [<]
symbols), absolute dates, and simple calculations."
"Search party.
Stop looking and start finding with Cover Flow and Spotlight. Click a
prebuilt search like “yesterday” or “all images” in the sidebar and
Cover Flow displays your search results in the perfect at-a-glance
format. Leopard comes with a number of helpful prebuilt searches, but
it’s easy to create your own customized searches as well."
I am unsure whether the list has discussed the present usefulness of
"Smart Folders" (which are saved searches). In Leopard the Sidebar
will contain some smart folders so you can always select "Documents"
regardless of where the item is actually located on the drive.

OK, so I am thinking with Spotlight does it really matter if I
organize my files and folders? If I save it to somewhere by
mistake I don't have to worry about it so much because I can
always find it. Does anyone see potential problems with relying on
spotlight for saved files? I could also Have a document with all
the names of the files so I can just copy and paste in to Spotlight.
