[X4U] Searching for file name in Tiger

[Samantha Cornell]

Give it a try...this method has consistently worked very well fro me.  
I frequently need to look for files for clients, and I still use this 
(as I have in previous OS versions) to do a quick search.  Maybe I'm 
just exceptionally lucky, but it has never failed me yet.
