That's about as obscure as you can get ... You're saying that the  
Finder Search
matches the Spotlight search? [And the only way you can get the  
Finder Search window to
show up is to use cmd-f, there is no pulldown associated with the  
finder search window any longer.]

... then why is, in my case, the System folder selected for Finder  
Searches, but nothing shows up which I know to be there, in  
Spotlight? [search for "frameworks" as an example. It finds the  
directory in /library but not the one in /system/library]

Not to mention the fact that selecting multiple disks does not stick  
across multiple selections  ... I suppose it's a bug, the only disk  
that sticks for me is the one where the home directory is mounted  
(I'll have to play with that a bit and send it in).

Has MacOSX hints buggered their website, or did 10.4.1 (or 10.4.0)  
bugger Safari?

That hint refuses to display in less than about a 17 inch wide  
screen. It doesn't matter how wide I resize my Safari window, (15  
inch screen) there is still a scroll bar across the bottom.
