My Mac is broken: Spotlight example 1

Gah.
Just thinking about having to find files on a Macintosh fills me with dread. Spotlight is useless for finding anything unless you know where it is already. I am in the half of the Venn diagram labelled believes names of files and folders have meaning. In the other half are the interface designers of Apple’s Spotlight technology.
Here’s a plum example of how a Spotlight window in Mac OS X 10.5.3 does an alphabetic sort-by-name of results when searching for files using File Name criteria.

I hate Spotlight. Makes me wonder what the point of all that amazing search engine technology is.
