Hello John,
Thanks for this. I tried it but must have been doing something wrong. I was
looking for a folder, not a file. When I tried out your suggestion, I saw a
list of files, not folders. I believe that the problem lies with me, not with
your explanation.
One thing that you wrote
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
Does anybody know if there is a data sheet containing syntax usage under
Spotlight? What I want to do specifically is fine-tune some of my searches.
For example, I have a folder somewhere on my Mac called Journal, and I also
have many, many files containing this word. Is there a way to tell
When it's file names I wish to find and not file content, I like to command tab
to Finder and press command f.
1. I type what I'm looking for,
2, optionally tab over to the check boxes which say contents, file name,
reverse their settings by pressing space on both of them,
3, then, shift tab
