Show creation and modification dates in search window

The Snow Leopard Finder search window you get after using Spotlight or pressing Command+Shift+F (to search for files names) or Command+F (to search inside files) does not show the creation and modification dates of items on Mac OS X 10.6.4. At least not by default.



To change this, Control click inside any of these search windows (there's no need to type or search for any specific keyword) and select Show View Options. Select the desired options like creation and modification date and then close the window. From that moment, all search windows will show the creation and modification column tabs.
