I frequently search multiple PDF files in a folder for specific words. The output in Acrobat Standard version 7 listed the files by "name". The output in Acrobat Pro vs 8 lists them by "title". The full path does display in a pop-up balloon if you put the cursor over the "title". I have not used titles. It's not easy to see the names of the various files yielding search results at a glance. Is there a way to change the output to display file name instead of the file title?
 
I could begin using titles now, but that doesn't help when searching through files created previously.

If the Title Field in the Document Properties is not filled in, then the document file name appears in your search results. If a Title is added to the Document Properties the name displayed in the Search Results pane shows the Document Title. There's not a preference option to change this.
