Searching Using Mac Finder
You must have at least three characters in the search string. When searching for strings with spaces, use double quotes around the search string.
You can search for file names but not for file types, such as .doc or .pdf files. However, you can search for a file type that is part of the file name, for example, mypdfile.pdf.
To search for a file type that is part of the file name:
- In Finder, open the drop-down search criteria menu.
The advanced search settings are displayed.
- Enter the search term in the name field rather than in the main search bar.
