Happy New Year to you too. Glad you were able to find the LyX example files you were looking for.
Spotlight doesn't index inside application bundles, so the Finder search behavior you describe is normal on OS X. Users normally wouldn't need to be searching inside bundles; the situation with the LyX example files is an unusual exception. -- Rich On Fri, Dec 27, 2013 at 8:25 AM, justin <justina...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Richard Talley <rich.talley <at> gmail.com> writes: > > > > > > > > > I'm not quite ready to upgrade to Mavericks, but this technique is so > fundamental to how OS X has worked since the very beginning I can't see > Apple removing it.
