Countless person-years of engineering effort, and Spotlight is still mostly useless. All I want is to hit Command-F to quickly search the filenames in the current folder (not start a sluggish scan of my entire hard disk). There used to be workarounds for this, but then they removed "Find by Name..." from Finder just to make our lives harder. Does anyone know a workable alternative?
Lockdown mode looks very usable despite the messaging that it is "designed for the very few individuals." Users can even exclude applications from Lockdown mode. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, some apps and features will function differently, including: Messages - Most message attachment types are blocked, other than certain images, video, and audio.

I do want to know what other "complex web technologies" are blocked. - I don't care about Facetime. - I don't use Apple services or Icloud. - Ignoring USB when locked should be a default.

• Finder -> Preferences -> Advanced -> “When performing a search: Use the Previous Search Scope”
• On any Finder window, CMD-F -> Search: This Mac / [ FolderName ]
• On the loupe: “Filename” instead of “Everything”
Enjoy
