Finder's Find still b0rken

So close in Tiger:

    tell application "Finder" to find "stuff"

You get a "Search" window - but nothing in it :-(

But it's not all bad news as Spotlight's shell tools *do* work:

    do shell script "mdfind stuff"

And you can grab the metadata too:

    do shell script "mdls /photos/DSC_0008.jpg"

Interesting. Consult the man pages for more info.
