If you want more column headers visible, press Command-J and check other columns from the View Options window. When you start typing search terms, the Finder pops up a menu asking if you want to restrict your search terms to file names only. And you can click on This Mac to change the target of your search from the folder you were in when you started searching, to your entire Mac. Click it to display two menus; by default, the first is set to Kind, and the second is set to Any.
But there are other options to choose from. To narrow down your results, start by selecting one of the criteria in the first menu, such as Created Date, Last Opened Date, or Name. Or choose Other to call dozens of other options, including Authors, Audio Bit Rate, Email Addresses, Recipients people who received a certain file , Layers names of Photoshop layers , and much more. Click on the check box next to an item if you want it to appear in the first menu for easy access in the future.
As you select different options, the second menu changes dynamically so you can set the appropriate parameters such as dates, numbers, and so on. To make one of these items appear in the main menu, place a checkmark to the right of its name. You can access more file types by choosing Other from the Any menu and then entering a kind of file in the text field, such as Excel or MP3.
Sometimes a search requires more than one set of criteria to summon the results you want. All of the files will be related in some way to the search term.
Perhaps you want to only search for file names instead of contents? Press the Command key to find out where it is stored. Press Command plus the R key to go to the document. All Rights Reserved.

They do this kind of crap all the time too. It boggles me that such an inconsistent interface can be considered more intutive than MS. NOt that MS is perfect but right click works almost everwhere.

Agree with some of the other posters that Apple is seriously lame for hiding shit like this and making you memorize key combos to do see stuff that should obviously just be visible in the first place.
Good lord Apple, get your shit together. January 22, at am. Yannis says:. December 9, at pm. October 11, at pm. So how do you find the finder location on Mac OS Sierra? Holding the command key will show the path, but the beginning of the path is missing because the window is not wide enough, and the window can not be expanded.
This has got to be the dumbest omission ever. But anyway.
