I was following your instructions just to get more familiar with 
Smart Folders, and stuck on one point: When you say, "Pick what kind 
of files you want to see," where does one choose that? Or do you mean 
pick as one of the search criteria, as in, "Kind = xxxx"?

Also, I have a confusion here, because I thought a big problem with 
Spotlight was that it deliberately omits quite a few folders from its 
searches, so it would not search the entire hard drive. Has that 
changed?
