Thank you for this, I like it much better most of the time, because I simply want to find files in a specific folder. It is much less cumbersome to me.

Yes, Spotlight brings up dictionary definitions, possible files whereas cmd-f only returns files and such. I don't do anything fancy, just press cmd-f, enter the search criteria, press return, stop interacting with the ToolBar, then select the radio button for This Mac, or the current folder/volume. I can change the view of the results, get more granular and search only for media files, include System files etc. Spotlight is an excellent resource, but I'm just more used to using the cmd-f.

CMD+F does bring up a search field for typing something, but it does not work at all like the spotlight search. Is there some preference or setup that would make it do so?
