Instead of reading though that .strings file, Command+shift+f in Finder, change the "Name" search parameter to "Other.." and you get a full(?) list of searchable parameters. You can check the box to make them show up in the Finder search drop-down thingy, or select one and hit okay to use it once.

Yes, but the list in that file shows how to use the multi-word operators, which is not always obvious from the list in the Finder.

And, David, it's not documented _yet_. :-)
