The search option in the finder no longer allows you to restrict your search to filenames.
You can restrict the search to a particular directory, but the ability to search on filenames only is gone, you are stuck with full text searches of your enitre directory contents.

Try CMD+SHIFT+F which should default to Filename.
Thank you s_coope for the tips --they work~
Also, blatwo, I tried clicking on my desktop and in Finder windows at various spots and I can't replicate the dropdown you show in the above --on the desktop L clicking produces nothing and R clicking produces a dialogue box with "New Folder/ Get Info/ Change desktop bkrnd/etc. Clicking on the finder bar presents icon text options, Clicking on the left sidebar prodices nothing and clicking in the main display box of Finder produces the conventional "open/open with/ move to trash/etc.. dialogue box. . . . how did you create that drop down?
Also, is there no way to restore the Snow Leopard Finder seach window buttons for file name/file contents?
thanks!
Sorry, I assumed you understood the implied way to get a search box:
Click on Desktop or in a Finder window (CMD+F), type in your search term,…
Wow, that was quick! thank you baltwo
I could get used to using that as my default search method. . .
Finder search can no longer be restricted (to file names)
