To be honest, I never close other windows when I use Spotlight or Command-F, so that I can more easily drag the result to where I want it (into one of the open windows, natch). The results windows for both methods comes to the forefront without needing to close anything. That said, there are indeed some things that Quit when you simply close the window -- System Preferences is an example -- so I can understand how it is possible to see "close" and believe someone is suggesting "quit". > If you don't want to solve the problem, don't ask for help. Ouch. That's very harsh.
