Upper-right corner of any finder window has a "magnifying glass" search feature.
Have never been able to get this to produce any useful results, nor can I find a pattern or any sort to the results it produces.
Typed "epson" and nearly 100 results come back with filenames like "fedex", "hotel", "batch1", "airfare" ...
Have plenty of Epson software on the system however not a single one appears in the search results.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
The search isn't just looking for file names that match what you type it is also looking inside for the term.
You can limit what it is doing by clciking on the arrow in the blue box and opening it
Also if you need more control over the search you can open the finder window, press command F. You'll get an are where you can enter a more complex search.
Have seen the boolean options, so far haven't been able to use them effectively. I'm clearly missing something fundamental - here's a simple example.
Only three items in the root of this hard disk, one is named "GASGAS".
Searching "GASGAS" produces zero results. Why would this be?
No idea why it is not working for you. Here is works as it should.
The volume
And the search
How does search feature work?
