Find by Name can't be set as default?

When I hit command+F I get the Find window but it always defaults to Find By Content.
Can I make it default to Find By Name? From the search I did here in the forums there is no way but I thouht to ask again.
Thanks in advance

While there isn't a thing you can do about the toolbar default, you CAN render it irrelevant. If you bring up the Find window using the shortcut of Command-Shift-F, then you will get "Name:Contains" with the cursor blinking in the blank entry field. Type the file name you want to find, and the results will be files whose actual file name contains whatever you typed. Furthermore, if you don't want to be bothered by using the shift key, you can go to System Prefs->Keyboard&Mouse->Shortcuts and reverse the two shortcuts, so that "Find..." with the "Kind" nonsense becomes Command-Shift-F, and "Find by Name..." is a simple Command-F. Restart the Finder after you make your changes, and then whenever you do Command-F you will get a search box with "Name:Contains" and the cursor blinking in the field for you to just type your search word-- the results will be files containing your word in their NAME, not the content.
There still ain't a dang thing you can do about the default of searching "This Mac" rather than the folder you were in when you invoked the search. Which is idiotic.

  • Can eprint be set to default ENABLED

    Photosmart Printer 75510 on XP. Efax is always available, but requires eprint to be enabled first. Does eprint have to be enabled every time I turn the printer on? Can it be set to default ON? Thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    It seems like you may be having trouble with your 7515 staying connected with Web Services.  You can remedy this by setting a static IP and changing some DNS settings: 
    1. Press the "Wireless" icon on the front panel of your printer. Make note of the IP address.
    2. Open a web browser on your PC and in the address bar clear everything out and type in the IP address from the printer and hit the enter key. This will open the EWS (embedded web server) for the printer.
    3. Click the "Network" tab at the top of the page.
    4. On the left side of the page under Wireless (802.11) click on "Networking," then click on "Network Address(IP)."
    5. Change the IP selection from Automatic to Manual, and then click the "Suggest a Manual IP Address" button. Make note of what the new IP Address is, you will need this in step 8.
    6. Below those fields you will see fields for DNS settings. You will need to fill those in as follows:
    Manual Preferred DNS Server: 8.8.8.8
    Manual Alternate DNS Server: 8.8.4.4
    7. Click the "Apply" button. Once this is finished processing you may see a Warning message that says you may lose connection, and a message that says click the "OK" button to go back. Don't click the OK, button just close the page.
    8. Now open a new browser window and enter the IP Address that you noted in step 5 in the address bar and press the enter key. If it opened the printer EWS page the settings were accepted successfully. You can close that browser page now.
    9. Power cycle the printer by turning it off, disconnecting the power cord from the rear of the printer, wait 30 seconds, plug the printer back in and turn it back on.
    10. Make sure that ePrint is on.  It should stay enabled after this.

  • With recent update of Firefox, I can no longer set the default page, it always reverts back to the Mozilla page, why?

    Why can I no longer set the default page to something else? Every time I open Mozilla Firefox, it always reverts back to the Mozilla page. No matter how many times I do this, it always reverts.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • Why can't I set a default calendar on my iPad?

    I see the setting in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Calendars, at the bottom of the page.

  • Can no longer set non-default device with QT 7

    In Quicktime 6, I could choose a specific device to play through. I use this feature to play iTunes through a second soundcard and out to my stereo. I leave my default device set to the system soundcard where I have just headphones hooked up. This way no system beeps or sounds come through the stereo.
    Now with Quicktime 7, I can no longer do this. Can anyone suggest a workaround? Why on earth would Apple remove this feature that was working before?

    Is there an answer to this dilemma yet? I run an htpc with multiple sound cards, and I definitely need to get this working. I hate to have to go back down to a previous version, if that is possible. Thanks.

  • How do I set the default text in a bound textbox?

  • Setting a Default Session

    It appears that while you can create a customized work space in Audition CS5.5 you can no longer set a default session.  In 3.0 I was able to create a session with a custom number of tracks, set effects on tracks and save that as a default session so that I would not have to set my session up the same way every time (which is helpful to me be in a voice track only environment).  Am I missing something, or is this no longer a feature?  It also appear that you can no longer set the default view of the workspace as it related to minutes (it shows 30 seconds by default).  Attempting to set the View/End setting to, say, 1 minute is not possible.

    Hello,
    I'm confused by this as well. Really no way to save a template /default session? Why would Adobe remove such a vital feature?

  • Can I set a default finder window style?

    I would like to set a default Finder window style that will affect all windows, new and old. I am able to set my default style to list, but I want to go beyond that. I want my windows to be lists, with only certain columns visible, I want the columns to be set to specific widths, and I want the windows to open as if the green button in the corner had been pressed.
    In Windows it is fairly easy to set a default Explorer window style with this level of setting. Can I do it on my Mac? Some setting I am missing, or some third party program?
    Thanks!

  • WebtopNaming - can not find server name for server ID

    We have a LB, and web servers in front of OpenSSO app servers in our environment.
    OpenSSO debug log CoreSystem fills up with lot of errors like these:
    ERROR: WebtopNaming.getServerFromID() can not find server name for server ID : 07
    com.iplanet.services.naming.ServerEntryNotFoundException: Cannot find server.
    Sometimes, it even complains about a server id (07 in the following trace) which doesn't even exist in the Site Id Table.
    There are no changes in the configuration. DNS is properly configured and all the servers and their connectivity are available. CoreSystem throws these errors even after a restart of opensso app servers.
    Any ideas about the root cause?

  • How can I find the name of a file I downloaded four months ago?

    I downloaded a file on either February 15th or 16th. Embarrassingly, I've lost the file, simply by forgetting its name. I need to be able to search my download history, by date. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I know that the history is kept that long, and that I haven't erased the history. Finding the date that I visited the website was easy using history and an approximate date, but download history is less intuitive.
    And, no, revisiting the website doesn't help; the only way to find the name of the file there (it's an ebook) is to buy it again, which is NOT what I wish to do.
    This was in Windows 7 Home Premium Edition, with FireFox v. 28.0 (yes, I know it's outdated; I haven't been using that computer much lately). I don't know what version of FireFox was installed at the time of the download -- whatever was most current at the time, as I usually make a practice of installing updates.

    The downloads folder in the history manager? I'm not sure what you mean.
    When I click on History, I see what I've put in the screenshot. Then it starts telling me where I've been today. Nothing about downloads, per se. I've been getting at those through Tools/Downloads.
    I have FireFox set up to ask me where downloads should go, rather than automatically sending them to my Downloads folder in Windows, and even if it had automatically saved to Downloads, it wouldn't still be there now.
    In a pinch, I suppose I could skip the first few in the downloads list, and then start right-clicking on individual downloads and selecting Go To Download Page, but I was hoping there might be some way to narrow it down, by getting at the date on downloads. That's fairly easy in History, but I don't see any way to do it in Tools/Downloads.
