Spotlight Show All Like in TIger?

In Tiger when I did a spotlight search and clicked show all from the menu it would open a nice list of all the documents still categorized by type. In Leopard I just get one big list and can only choose between contents or name and location. Am I missing something? I know I can do a file find and select the type but it was so much easier in Tiger. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The best you can do is after you select "Show All" change the view of the window to List view and then click the Kind column.

Spotlight Show All Results At The Bottom!

In Spotlight, Show All Results used to be at the top. After typing in the query in the Spotlight field, I used to tap on the Up arrow and get right to Show All Results. Quite fast with the keyboard, without even touching the mouse.
Now I have to go to the bottom of the list, either with the mouse or with the down key. S-l-o-w-l-y. Irritating to say the least.
Is there a way to change this and bring Show All Results to the top? Or at least a shortcut to go right to the bottom? Oh that would be nice, just keeping in mind the poor power users… :-)

The result appears at the center unless there are multiple results on the screen and in this case Firefox doesn't scroll to center the next result.
*Bug 171237 - Find in Page: highlighted result should be at the middle of the page (vertically centered) instead of last line/bottom of page

Choosing Spotlights "Show All" reveals nothing

Once I plug in a file to search for under Spotlight, and then I chose "Show All" nothing happens.
Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. Searching the drive works fine from the Spotlight corner, but when I click "Show All" the Finder-like window remains blank with the spinning wheel spinning forever. The Mac's built-in help function of course does not contain any help for this type of trouble-shooting (very weird post above).

Getting Spotlight "Show All" window to only show emails

In Spotlight's "Show All" window (the same one you get when you Command-F from the Finder) there's a way to select what kind of things you want to see. However, for some reason the "Kind" list doesn't include "Mail Messages". It has "Applications", "Documents", "Folders", etc. but nothing to find emails. I notice that if I choose kind "Other" and type "Mail" in the box, I do see email messages, but it's odd that emails aren't in the list. Anybody know if it's possible to modify the set of things that shows up in the "Kind" list so I can find emails more easily?

Weird. My "Kind" list is Any, Applications, Documents, Folders, Images, Movies, Music, PDF, Presentations, Text, Other.
I tried enabling and disabling various kinds in the Spotlight preferences pane. Although that changed the set of results (as you'd expect) it had no effect on the set of items shown in the "Kind" list.
Wonder what's happening here?

Spotlight "Show all in Finder" not working

Hello
I have a mac book pro 2.7 Ghz i& with 16 GB RAM
1) Whenever I search for something in spotlight, when I click on "Show all in Finder", nothing happens
Also, When I check the preferrences, I have some yellow triangles for the keyboadr shortcut
I've reindex everything but same issues comes up.
2) Also, it seems that it only searches on local drive, not on my external drives as well, even though they are also indexed.
Thank you

Got me stumped there. My understanding (limited) is that the Apple Events daemon works for a while when freshly launched, but for reasons unknown it gets bolloxed after a certain number of calls. No error messages appear in Console, which makes it especially hard to track down. If yours gets hosed immediately, that's not the usual pattern.
iPhoto and iTunes use Apple Events quite a lot.... if you have either of those apps running, you might see what happens without them. Failing that, see what happens when no applications are running. Finally, see what login items are being fired up (System Preferences => Users and Groups => Login Items) and disable those.
This bug only crops up on a small number of Macs, and as far as I know nobody's been able to track down what triggers it.

"Show All" in Spotlight missing the number of items that were found?

how do i allow Spotlight results page to display the total number of results for the search?
say i search for "compare" the top result would be Show All (427), the 427 being the number times Spotlight found the word "compare"
anyone have a solution?

Hi Mike, they dropped the number of results in 10.5, perhaps because they dropped the Spotlight window you got in Tiger when you clicked Show All--which did in fact show all the items in the menu bar list. In Leopard when you click on Show All you get a regular search window, just as if you had hit Command-F to start with, with the defaults set for "This Mac" and "Content"--but you won't see the same number of results because the things returned using the menu bar Spotlight and the things returned using a search window differ. I presume they dropped the number because people would be very confused if the menu bar obviously had 30 items and clicking Show All resulted in a list of only 10 items.

Try posting in a more appropriate forum, as this has noting to do with itunes U - the place where University/college/museums post education material.

Having trouble with dreamweaver cs 6 spry tabbed panels, all content in each tab showes through like it was all created on one page, plus mouse over doesnt work on them.
This started all of a sudden.
The entire website is a series of spry tabbed panels.

if you click on General construction tab things work ok...
if you click on Machine control tab, mouse over doesnt work and all page content of each tab show through.
ive been looking for the answer for 4 months with no success.
Hope a fellow dreamwever-person can help
Thanks Rick

You called it: your links to the SpryAssets are linking to your hard drive, not to the files within the folder on the server.
Correct these links:
<script src="file:///C:/Users/work/Desktop/Sites/SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="file:///C:/Users/work/Desktop/Sites/SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
And you should be good to go.

ps. If you run into more difficulties with the Spry Widgets, take your questions to the Dreamweaver Spry Forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/spry, where they will get quicker attention.

Spotlight does not open a finder window when i choose Show all in finder menu?

I have a significant number of files in my Macbook Air. A lot of them are research papers and medical literature.
About a month ago I updated the operating system from snow Leopard to mountain Lion and I had no reasons to complain except a smaller battery time.
Since then I installed every OS update.
After the last update, a few days ago, Spotlight does not open a finder window when i choose Show all in finder menu.
Spotlight continues to work properly if I write a name or expression in spotlight in a finder window but not in the upper left corner at the menu bar
As this been described yet?
Thank you in advance

I had the same problem yesterday after performing a clean install of Mountain Lion (10.8.2) on my MacBook Pro.
I resolved the problem by booting from the Mountain Lion Recovery Partition and then running Disk Utilty (Repair) for the primary disk on which Mountain Lion is installed. It identified (and repaired) many permissions issues...
When I rebooted following the repair, Spotlight worked again properly -- including the "Show All in Finder" function.

I had on my desk top pc (a vista os) a version of FireFox that the book marks where listed in the book tool bar tab and the "book tool" was able to show all my favs and there was a scrol bar on the right side of the top right side. I would like very much

I had on my desk top PC (a vista OS) a version of FireFox that the book marks where listed in the book tool bar tab and the "book tool" was able to show all my favs and there was a scroll bar on the right side of the top right side. I would like very much to turn it on in the Laptop I just bought and am having a fit trying to figure out all the differences,.I very much like this function; however, I am now using win 7 which in and of itself is difficult to figure out troubles when they occur such as if the MSN Bing program opens a video window while I am playing, the media center will lock up, or if I am listening to BBradio.org and click on lestening to one of the pastors the laptop will show static on the screen and all you hear is static like you just went to the twilight zone.

HI ..
The only way to reinstall OS X on a Mac already running v10.9 is to use OS X Recovery.
Starrtup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and reinstall OS X.
Please read > OS X Recovery

I would say all types. Any kind of document/ file that has multiple pages, I can't get to the next page.

When i click on 'Show all in Finder' after searching for anything on spotlight, NOTHING happens! NO Finder window opens up and the spotlight dropdown menu just shuts! Please help!

I'm having the same problem in other places as well, for example when i downloaded Easyfind right now, clicking the small magnifying glass button on the right of the file name (shown below) would usually open up finder highlighting the file, but now nothing happens when i click on that button!
Is there a solution for this, as this was a very useful feature which i used ALL the time?

Spotlight's "Show All In Finder" Error

When clicking "Show all in Finder" from Spotlight search, I continually end up with a blank Finder window showing up. Solutions?

I am pretty sure this worked that way pre-Lion.
Nevertheless, in spotlight if you want to find the location of the file (how do you do that) - a right-click option "Open Location" would be a great feature. I mean what is the point searching for the file, seeing it, but have no idea where to copy it from, or remove it or otherwise?

Hidden tools palette? I would like a palette which shows ALL tools, not popups...

I am really frustrated (for decades now) that Photoshop groups some tools together which don't make sense to me, and so are hard to find when I do want to use them.
Examples (and vice versa):
Ruler under Eye dropper
Pencil under Brush
Paint Bucket under Gradient
Sponge under Burn
Shapes under Line
etc
I would like a tools palette which shows ALL tools, all the time.
Has anyone done one of these? Might I get a copy?
Thanks
William

Excellent! Thank you, very much. That's exactly what I needed!
This one is in a regular palette window which can be grouped with other windows, so does not take up any extra space.
