<way for me is to type in the name and have the OS do auto-complete. Not on a Mac. Oh no, you're
<not supposed to TYPE on a Mac, you're supposed to wiggle and scroll and click for 5 minutes over a deep directory tree.
<And if you want to search, by golly of course you want to search the ENTIRE file system, not the directory you
<are currently in. Yes there's that goofy button under the search box where you can select to search in just
<the folder, why the hell isn't this the default?
