If I do a standard 'Find' here under 10.3.8 I don't get StandardAdditions. If I specifically search 'System' I do.

Took me a while to figure out what you meant, during which I found out what "specific places" is good for. Thanks!

:)


Do you happen to know whether there might be any more specific places I should add to my list because the Finder hides them otherwise?

Finder can't readily search any of the invisible folders like etc, var, usr and so on but they can be navigated to using "Go to Folder..." from the "Go" menu - if you know where they are. Once you have such folders open in the Finder, the icon next to the folder's name can be dragged in to the "Specific places" pane of the Find window.


As to whether they should be searched or not, that depends on your needs really. These folders are hidden from the casual observer because interfering with them can easily render your system unusable. On the other hand it can be useful to be able to view certain log files that Console.app doesn't provide access to, for example.

Cheers,

I N Visible-Manne
