@alex

you search by file type ie; .mpg or .jpg to search for all jpeg images you would just type this in the search box: .jpg

Best part about this search function is that it doesn’t actually search all of the files on your computer. Strong logic. (No offense to the editor)

On Lion you can add columns on finder. Add Size column before or after the search and tap/click on the column name to order by the column.

Good trick…and you know what…i have Google Chrome that is almost 1.5GB…how can be possible??

Great tip, but it’s made much more useful if you use Size as a sort item too so you can find the biggest items on top of the list.

Keep em comin!
