I know we've been discussing Windows and Linux; my apologies for veering
onto a different platform. Since more people are using Macs these days, I
thought I'd share this tidbit. :-)
If you're into those "shiny and expensive" workstations, you can use the
command-line interface to the Mac OS X Spotlight utility to search specific
directories:
zathras:Reference jpiwowar$ mdfind -onlyin ./RDBMS10gR2
ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY
...output mercifully snipped; I'm still exploring how to make smarter
queries ;-)
Now, if only there were a way to restrict searching by directories using the
normal Spotlight interface, without having to click (ugh) on fields in a
Finder (double ugh) window...
Regards,
John P.
