How to search in all files using Finder?

Question

I need to find all files on my Mac using some search criteria.

1. I open Finder
2. I press Cmd+F
3. Using "+" button I add any search criteria, even stack of them

but the search does not start – because in the very beginning I had to limit my search by typing any part of file name in the search field. But I need to find all files which satisfy my search criteria, without limitation on part of file name. What to do? How can I start the search with selected search criteria for all existing files? On Windows I would use a wildcard *.* to search for all files. How to search for all files in Finder?

All suggestions usually look like: "Begin to type what you need in the search field...". But this implies that you already know what file name you are looking for. In my case I need to include all existing files in my search using specified search criteria.

Answer 1

You don't need to type any name at all, just start filling in your additional criteria boxes...

The search runs 'live', i.e. no Enter key needed to start it.
