Search What You Want in Snow Leopard
TUAW points out a little-mentioned Spotlight fix in Snow Leopard:
One of the little frustrations in my everyday use of Leopard was the way it searched in folders. When in a Finder window, there was a handy-looking search box in the upper right-hand corner. I would place the cursor, type my query, and be annoyed by the fact that OS X searched my entire Mac.
This is another “little thing” that makes Snow Leopard a welcome addition.
