Thanks to all for their response my quest for a pre-Tiger file search method.

Thanks especially to Eddie--above. That solves my problem; not quite 
as easy as pre-Tiger, but it will do the job.

I am mentality stuck back in OS 9 so I  always keep a couple of 
finder widows open on the desktop for ready  access to folders. To 
preserve these and do a file-find, it is necessary to first create a 
new Finder window and then do as Eddie suggests. So the routine 
becomes command-N, command-F, and change the Kind to Name. Room for a 
third-party app here?
