Finding an item
When the Finder is the active program, you can use the Find
command in the File menu to find any item on any disk
connected to your computer. (The Find command cannot locate
items inside the System file. You need to open the System file to
see its contents.)
Finding an item by name
1. Choose Find from the File menu.
The dialog box that appears lets you find an item by name.
If the dialog box you see has more items than shown here,
click the Fewer Choices button in the lower-left corner.
2. Type the name (or part of the name) of the item you
want to find.
Capitalization does not have to match.
3. Click the Find button.
The first item that matches the name you typed is shown
highlighted in a Finder window. If an item is found on the
desktop, you see a message. If no item matches, you hear an
alert sound.
4. To see the next matching item, choose Find Again from
the File menu.
If no more items are found, you hear an alert sound.
