Change the size of the Jaguar Find dialog...?

Anyone know how to accomplish this? The Find dialog first of all should be resizable. Silly Apple made it static with only room for 4 folders/drives. I want to make it bigger.

I know omeone did it before. I saw a screenshot, so I know it's possible and I'm not afraid to hack my OS. I've done it enough already. I always backup so no fear. And I am root l33t. ;)

I have looked in every .nib file that would make sense. So unless it's hidden somewhere else I can't FIND it. Literally. hehehe.

I am thinking it's not contained in a .nib file. I think I recall the person found the Find dialog in another file. I must find it!

Here's a screenshot for those who don't understand what dialog I mean. Also note the scrollbar messed up so resizing it would rock.

Also, if you know of any other dialogs I might find fun to hack.. let me know. ;)

Okay, you have to edit Finder.app/Contents/Resources/(desired language).lproj/Localized.rsrc using Metrowerks Powerplant Constructor. I'm not sure which versions will work, but I'm quite sure you wouldn't want to run any of the pre-OSX versions. Go to PPob resource 8000, which is the search criteria window. Shuffle around the panes and views at your discretion.

I had to use Resorcerer since I didn't have a copy of CW8 handy, and I had to adjust the "Height" and "Top in super image" attributes for many of the panes in that window to get things to line up.
