Re: Can Not Figure out the Finder

I use File > Find and enter a name,

can clearly see on the desk top gives no output.

Can someone give me a clue as to how to use the Finder onder OSX.

Note that immediately beneath the space in which you type your search
term there is a list of places to search. On the "New Search" window
that I have just opened the list reads:

Servers Computer Home Others...

Yours may differ. You should ensure that you have not limited your
search by selecting too narrow a search region. When I have no idea
where a file is (one of my Macs has six hard drives) I search
"Computer." That is the only comprehensive search that I know of. When
I have an approximate idea of where a file is I narrow the search by
choosing "Home," or narrow it even further by choosing "Others..." then
clicking the plus sign to select a particular folder.
