Hi all,
any way to force Spotlight to list "name matches" first, or to force "name matches" to be the default behaviour?
If I look for a file that I know the name of, say "Aurora.mat", and I type "Aurora", then I am flooded by millions of documents where the word "Aurora" appears, but not in the filename.
It's quite obvious to me that, first of all, I want files that have "Aurora" in the name, not in the content.
So I am forced to switch to "name matches" every time.

Any idea?
Thanks

(this is a behaviour I have on all my macs, on all OSs of the last 5 years)

Yep, but that will require an extra effort every time... I wonder if there is a permanent solution, after all I guess it's quite obvious that filename matches are more "matches" than contents matches...
Thank you in any case
