I recently read a great hack to increase the size of the OSX Finder's Find windows to allow more items in the 'Specific places' dialog widget, etc. But I can't remember where I read it. Worse yet searching in the usual places hasn't turned up anything close. So...

Does anyone know where this hack was posted? or how to increase the size of the OSX Finder's Find window?

TIA - asxless in iLand

Surely one of the OS X Aces in this forum saw the orginal Find window size hack or knows which plist, resource, etc. would need to be hacked.

BTW I have already used the search function on a half dozen Mac sites & Google to no avail.

hmm... so that you don�t have to scroll if you have more places, or what do you mean??

Yes. The original hack allowed you to set the size of both the Find window and the "specific places" scrolling windowlet. So those of us who partition our drives and/or wish to selectively search several mounted networked volumes can see the entire list without scrolling. I _think_ the original hack included the ability to set the size and placement of the results window as well.
