How to get dynamic icons like in "Searching this Mac"?

Hello,
So whenver I use spotlight to search something and click on "Show all in finder" I get the "Searching This Mac" window. The one where I can add filters and "stuff". When I resize this window, the icons rearrange themselves to allways fit the window, so that no icons are ommited. It's like they adapt dynamically to the window's size. OS is Lion.
Is there a way to get this behaviour on all finder windows? If so, how do I get them to behave that way?
Thank you in advance,
Milton Sá

I don't know of a way to make it happen automatically.
But you can make it happen with little effort. After resizing the window, press Command-Option-1
This instruction will perform a Clean Up action making the icons fill the window, using 'by name'. If you want a different arrangement function, look in the View menu, Clean Up By submenu.

  • How do I delete files found by Searching "This Mac"?

    I am trying to get rid of the .xmp files that the PC version on ACDsee put in my files. I did a search and found 10,000 of these pest on my new iMac with
    Searching "This Mac". I am able to select them all in that window, but there is not an option to delete them. I tried dragging them to the trash.
    I realize these are in many folders on my computer. Is there an easy way to get rid of them all at one time? If not what would be the quickest
    way to get rid of them? All help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks so much,

    I disconnected my EHD and now it is letting me select them(dragging my mouse over about a 1000 at a time) and throw them in the trash. It must have found
    some on the EHD, which I am going to wipe clean anyway after my files are moved over. I'll just check daily for new ones. Hope is is really deleting them from all those files. Over 6000 without the EHD.

  • How do get rid of the google search box when I first open Firefox?

    How do get rid of the google search box when I first open Firefox?

    Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named <b>about:home</b> with a Google search bar on it.
    That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
    If you want a home page with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com as used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • How can get a database like ****.SQL file for test in sqlplus in oracle8i

    How can get a database like ****.SQL file for test in sqlplus in oracle8i,I am a beginner,thanks

    I'll give it a guess as to what it is you want but I'm afraid you'll have to give some more information to go on. I appreciate it's difficult for people who are beginners or who don't have English as their first language.
    Are you trying to run a SQL file? From SQL*plus you can do either of these:
    SQL> start my_file
    or
    SQL> @my_file
    N.B.: if th efile has a .sql extension you don't need to include it, but you do for any other file extension e.g.
    SQL> @myfile.run

  • In Finder how to stop "searching this Mac"?

    When Finder is opened, an empty graph page opend up with the title, searching "This Mac".  There are many, many pages behind it.  As you delete each page, another pops up into infinity.  How do I stop this searching "This Mac"?

    Is Spotlight doing it?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
