Hi All;

I suggest that you take a close look at EasyFind, a free utility from

http://www.devon-technologies.com/

I have found EasyFind quite useful. Once you've done a search on what  
you want, (the search being confined to the drive, or folders you  
specify) you can sort the search results by name, date modified or  
date created, size, kind, and where located.

I never use Spotlight any more. I've just put EasyFind in my Dock for  
convenience because it is much much better for me.

It's hard to believe DEVONtech is letting this thing loose as a freebie.

Hope this helps;

Ray
