Using spotlight to search system files?

[GNice]

According the Apple 1 of the 300 new features is the ability to search system files via spotlight. OK...I'm a recent switcher and wasn't aware the apache web server was shipped with OS X. After seeing that in this forum, I wanted to find the apache configuration file, httpd.conf. So I type httpd.conf in spotlight and no results are found

Am I missing something? Is this not a system file? How do you long time mac user go about finding these type of files because it doesn't appear finder or spotlight can be used.

Thx!

Yeah I've been complaining about this all day, since more files actually showed up in Tiger with spotlight.

Here is what you have to do:

Hope that helps. It takes a bit more time, but it should help you find much more stuff. Another forum member led me there.
