I finally figured out to how to solve this thanks to everyone in this thread.
GUIDE:
Follow these instructions by Paul Conaway:
Filip, under the view menu in the finder choose "Show View Options" select arrange by option and sort by option. There is a button at the very bottom of the window "Use as Defaults" click that. This should do what you want.
Then, follow these instructions by dialabrain:
Chances are you've opened some Finder windows in the past. Individual folder options will override this default setting that we just set.
In order reset your folder settings across the entire machine we have to delete all .DS_Store files. This will ensure that all folders start fresh. Open up the Terminal application (Applications/Utilities/Terminal), and type:
sudo find / -name .DS_Store -delete; killall Finder
You will then be prompted for your password. You won't see your password as you type, so type carefully. This may take a minute or two because it's going to search your entire computer for .DS_Store files.
Done!
Note:
In the future, whenever you switch views, it will automatically save in the new .DS_Store file. This will override the default settings.
Me ,not so good in terminal commands , incorrect command can lead to something worse in the system .
So , I avoid it for sure .
Can you please link to "OnyX"'s official website?
Doesn't search work on your Mac?
Actually that's a good point.
