Command+F, File -> Find, or just start typing a search query in the Search
field of any Finder window -- as soon as you start typing, the Finder window
changes to a Search window, complete with query options.

No, the two are indeed separate. Sorry if I wasn't clear -- the above
procedure lets you search system-level directories via Finder window
searches. The mdimport -f command adds directories to the general Spotlight
index (which is accessed via the menu bar Spotlight search).

It's because there's an unbroken line (<code></code>) on the page -- the
browser will render it as a single line, no matter how wide that will make
the page ;-)
