Is it just me or is the new Search function in Panther worse than anything since before System 9, and by a long shot?
You can't even find things you KNOW are there.

I miss the 'Search in Selection' choice that was in the Finder window search field in Panther (its gone in Tiger)...
but using Cmd-F and then selecting a folder in 'Others' does get you the same result, plus more features like thumbnails n stuff.... just wish they could have left the faster method in as well..

Spotlight in Tiger is a lot better.

CyBrainX... did you let it do a complete scan of disks when you first installed Tiger... ?
for most people it seems to take at least 5hrs.

I meant Tiger by the way. That's another thing Apple should work on. Numbers have an order. Cats don't.
Yes, It took me forever to install.
I also love how it searches as you type in the field, crippling your entire system before you can type .swf. I know you can change prefs in Terminal, but please. Don't make me get in the guts of the system for a default that should be set properly to begin with.
