Is there a way to search all the files that finder normally keeps hidden?

Yup. In the terminal type ls LS (no caps) for list and /tmp (example) or whatever directory path you may wanna see

i mean is there a way to try to find the word like "mac" in all the names in all the hidden folders without just having to go threw each one in the terminal
