I totally agree. On my system, EasyFind is so slow that I just don't 
ever both to even try it. BUT, I use NotLight, and it not only 
searches as I wish, but is almost as fast as Spotlight. It's 
available at VersionTracker, and it's free.

Oops, unfortunately, it doesn't say it is Leopard-compatible, and I 
think it isn't.
