No they didn't. Find by Name… still exists. It's ⌃⇧⌘F (ctrl-shift-cmd-F). You might have missed it because it's a dynamic menu item (Find turns into Find by Name… once you press ⌃⇧). Tip: Use the Help menu to search menu items. I just pressed ⌘? and typed "Find" and Find by Name… popped up.

Ctrl-Shift-Cmd-F? Are you forking kidding me? I know sometimes you can press Option to show secret menu items (which I bet <10% of Mac users know) but Ctrl and Shift too? So now you have to press 7 different combinations of modifier keys just to discover what menu commands are available. Just wow. Thank you for showing me that menu command! That'll be a lifesaver going forward. Usability achieved despite Apple design, not because of it.

  Dynamic menu items have existed for most of the history of macOS 10+.

  The option[+shift] modifier and searchable menu bar have both been around for about 15 years

  The "Help" menu item is a major lifesaver and especially in complex apps (that is, those which actually take advantage of macOS' native menus, which sadly isn't a given nowadays). For example Photoshop (and its colleagues) is darn near impossible for me to use on Windows — and at least 50% of the reason is absence of the "Help" menu search feature.
