I know that I have saved several instances of a particular pref file. I copy/paste its name into spotlights search field for quickly finding the other files with the same name.

Spotlight leaves out certain system folders when searching globally. That said, searching a specific directory from within finder always will search that directory. I presume the assumption is that most users don't wish to know / understand what's in System, or Library, for example.
