Smile, you raise an interesting point. I hadn't thought of finding folders, though I have no objection to doing so. Let me play with that one.
As for my optional step 2, it so happens that by default, Finder is looking inside each file to find a match for the text you specify. That's all well and good if that's what you want. But I think we are after file names. so pressing space on the first check box switches off searching for file content, that is, stuff inside the file, and pressing space on the next check box switches on file names, that is, your search text will match with file names only.
