Thanks you Gerry, that worked. I guess my problem is that I don't regard the LIbrary folder as a system folder - it's where I install some of my application's files per Apple's guidelines. Plus it seems that I can't list all files with a particular filename in one search, on ein system files and another as a normal search.
I guess in the general scheme of things, it's not really a big deal, more of a frustration and a rebellion against those folks who think Apple can do no wrong.
