Change search options to FILE NAME only

Is there a way to change the search options to always search for FILE NAME only?
I don't know who'd saech for contents every time, that would seem like a last resort if you couldn't find what you are originally looking for and forgot the file name. We have 10's of thousands of files and having the stupid contents pop up EACH time I want to do a search wastes so much time.
Help!

The only way to bypass the crippled Spotlight search is to use a tailored savedSearch. This is what I use. The system files allows finding things in the stupidly hidden user's Library:

Make Windows 7 search function search file names only

Hello,
Is there a way to search for a file name (like in previous versions of Widows) rather than searching for anything containing that word? For example,
I want to search a for files with the word 'Pension' in the title, but intead I receive thousands of results for files called containing the word pension as well as those with 'pension' in the title.
Thanks!

Yeah, I know. It works for some and not for others. It depends on cryptic settings that waste more time than it takes to find the files manually. I have run searches for simple file names...nothing complicated, with indexing on and off.
I let it run overnight until it was fully complete. It left out 33 results, including what I was looking for. With Agent Ransack, all of the results were found...including what I was looking for in less than a minute. Google Windows 7 search
problems sometime and you will find pages and pages of people with problems trying to tweak it left and right hoping it would work. In the end, it is simply not worth the time when much more efficient and free alternatives are available.
What do you want me to say? If you don't know how to use the solution, then you just don't know. I can't make it any simpler for you as to where the problem is at, and you need not cry about it.
I think a 5 year old with an open mind that is sharp minded can easily figure out how to use the Search, once he or she was shown how to use it. :)

EXS24 read root key from file name only

Has anyone encountered this with EXS24 in Logic 7? If you set preferences to "read root key from file name only" then EXS reads the root key from the file itself when loading samples. On the other hand if you set them to "read root key from file only" then it reads the root key from the file name. Or am I just imagining this?
P.S. if anyone from Apple is reading, could you please update EXS24? It's a bit primitive by today's standards.

How can i search for multiple file names (images) in bridge?

Hello everyone!
Does anyone know how to search for multiple file names in bridge?
That is to copy & paste something like this: _MG_2152, _MG_2177, _MG_2194, _MG_2195, _MG_2202, _MG_2212, _MG_2219, _MG_2261, _MG_2362, _MG_2401
Not using several criterias in the search box that is. That takes too long.

Searching for a file name?

Hey Guys,
Is there a way to fine the name of a text file? For example, I have 3 files 1235.txt, 2568.txt, and 2568.txt. I need to find one of these files and write user info into each one and then update the file with current user info.
I was just wonder if there is anyway you could search for a file name?
The reason I need to do this is because I want to store user details into seperate files, because I don't really want to use a random access file and using one file for all the users seems alot harder, when finding a file users info...
Thanks Guys,
The 31st Cook
PS. I will post the code if required.... Thanks Again

O yeah, I remember (google refresh my memory) this is what we were going to use in the first place except.. Because we must demo the program on completely locked down computers we can't install the drivers (that's what I was told) So, we can't use it...

How can I list my iphoto library by file name only?

How can I list my iphoto library by file name only?

There are two apps that can do that for your.
1 - the better of the two is iPhoto Library Manager. You will have to manually select those Events in Library A that are not in Library B and copy them to B. Then do the same for B to A. This also copies both the original and edited versions, keywords, titles, descriptions, faces and places.
2 - the second app is SyncPhotos. This one is automatic and will copy the original images in A that are not in B into B and the same for B to A. This does not copy edited versions or any of the metadata, i.e. keywords, etc.

you can change the name of struts-congig.xml file
and change the strut-config file name in web.xml also.
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

Spotlight does not give the option to show file names only

I have noticed that Spotlight doesn't have the button to allow for showing only the file name that contain the search word. I use this function a lot and not having it makes my searches much more tedious. Anyone know if there is some hidden way now in Lion to do this?
Sima

Well, after digging for a while in help, I found it. You have to click "show all" after beginning the search, then click on the + sign to add criteria, then choose criteria from the pop-up menu labeled "Kind". I had to go further and click on "other" to find "filename", then it worked. It seems like a lot more work than it was before. I would think that putting a few buttons with some of the most common uses at the top of the window would be more convenient, or at least, providing an option to put those buttons there.

Indesign Post Script name changing to back up file name

Hi all
I am in a pre press workflow that requires that I write a post-script file to a hot folder.
So saving as a post-script is the only option for our entire workflow to take place.
When saving the post script file from indesign , the name defaults to the back up file name which is
not similar to the original file name. We deal with an extremely large number of pages
and need for this file name to stay the same as the original not the back up. Manually putting these file names
in is a serious chance for error and takes too much time.
Does anyone know how to prevent the name from changing?
Thanks for any help.

You should be posting to the InDesign or Acrobat forum. Please repost there giving them your version of InDesign and Acrobat. Detail you method of creating the postscript file. You should be printing to file using the Adobe PDF printer instance. I only suggest the InDesign forum, since the print dialog box in InDesign is not a standard Windows Print dialog box.

Search using partial file name?

I know this issue has been addressed before, but I haven't found a satisfactory answer.
I use the Search field in the toolbar to search for files on my external drive. That external drive contains a file named "housefly.psd." When I search for "house" using the File Name filter and with columns set to Kind, all the Photoshop files that begin with "house" appear at the top of the window, including the file I'm searching for.
But if I search for "fly," the "housefly.psd" file doesn't appear in the list at all, although files containing the word "fly" with a space before the word show up in the list (e.g. - "big fly.psd").
Users aren't always going to remember the initial characters in a file name they want to find. So how do I find the file if I only remember some of the internal characters?
Thanks,
Andy

Yeah, isn't Spotlight great?! Give this example to all the experts who gush about Spotlight.
What you see is how Spotlight was designed to work -- at least for hoi polloi like us. The query looks for words, not strings. "Fly" is one word, "big fly" is two words, but "housefly" is one word. It contains the string "fly", but not the word "fly". Now, if you had had the foresight and forethought to name your file "HouseFly", then probably Spotlight would have found it, "Fly", unlike "fly" being, by the rules of the Apple wallahs, a word, not a string. Is that all? No, of course not, that would have been too simple. Spotlight also has hidden somewhere a private list of exceptions. So "books" in "Audiobooks" is always a word, no matter how capitalised; but in "Cookbooks" it's just a mere string, and hence not worthy of notice.
How do you get around this (without using Terminal)?
(1) One way is to construct a query, as already suggested, with the Filename and Contains. But, beware! if you're searching in Finder, and you've already entered a string in the Spotlight search field on the toolbar, the query constructed thus will be restricted to the hits of the query already in the search field. So, if you've enter "fly" in the window toolbar search field, and then construct a Filename Contains "fly" query, you'll find nothing, because any subset of the ∅ (empty set) is also empty. This restriction applies to any query thus constructed.
(2) If you are a real, hair-chested, red-blooded Mac user, you don't use namby-pamby Filename queries. You go straight for the jugular. In the pop-up menu, instead of "Filename", choose "Other...". Then scroll through the interminable list to "Raw Query" and enable it. Then type in the Raw Query search box
kMDItemFSName == *fly*
Note 1: "*fly*", not "*fly", because the Item's File System Name is "housefly.psd".
Note 2: You can use the keyword "name" in the window toolbar Spotlight search field, thus
name:housefly
However, this one doesn't take wildcards.
(3) If you happen to be just a normal person, who uses a computer to be productive and not to exercise one's fingers by typing lengthy and abstruse keywords (or as a Rorschach test to have fun divining the inscrutable minds of Apple engineers), then my suggestion is to give Spotlight the widest possible berth and use something else. I suggest Find File by John R Chang, Find Any File by Thomas Tempelmann, and EasyFind by Christian Grünenberg.
