hi,

I have "when performing a search" preference in Finder set to "search in current folder", yet whenever I search it doesn't search in current folder, it always just goes to "Documents" (and you can't choose what dir to search in after you have done command-F...)

even if I'm in Machintosh HD when I press command-F it goes to "Documents"...

why is this happening? how can I fix this (10.6.8)

thank you...

PS: I know in the worst case I can do "Search This Mac", but the problem here is I can't search any external drives (which means I can't search in my backup drive.... yikes...)
