The OSX Find has to be the most useless piece of crap ever. I can't get this crap to work worth a darn. I do a search and the crazy thing keeps bouncing around, refreshing itself, it just dosen't stop.

I can't scroll down to look at the long list of items since it keeps bouncing back to the top.

I can't sort by date or anything else.

I just can't get over the sluggish speed of spotlight. I hope 10.5 does something about the overall speed especially on the lower end systems.
