[X4U] Searching for file name in Tiger

[Eddie Hargreaves]

After typing Command-F in the Finder, select the Kind pop-up and change it
to Name. You can then choose Contains, Begins With, Ends With, or Is. Once
you start typing in the box, it will start giving results. And if your word
is more than a few characters long, you'll probably get the spinning
beachball halfway through typing...

AFAIK, this is the only way to do a name search in Tiger (aside from using
locate in the Terminal) and you will have to change the Kind field to Name
every single time.
