Is it possible to disable live searching in the Finder toolbar? I'm finding it annoying, slow and if you accidentally spell a word wrong what's the point of waiting for results?

On my computer if I make a mistake the delay in deleting and characters is almost always negligible, though if you want I'd imagine you can call up Command+F and search the good old fashioned way.

Command+F means I would have:

-One Finder window.
-One Find window.
-One results window.

That's not practical. It's still an annoyance. There must be a hack to disable live file searching!

Why "must" there?

Besides, I would imagine it's hard-coded into the Finder.

Come on with the Terminal CLs.

Maybe there are some hack apps on versiontracker you could search for.

You need to get USB iBrator. Then you get a toolbar icon with a dial Slow>Medium>Fast>Orgasm.
