[QUOTE="xstep, post: 855424, member: 11647"] I'm not sure how Spotlight or the Finder handles that case. It may be that it recognizes that you have found the same file via a different path and simply not list it, assuming both top levels are below an initial search path. My limited experiment got me no where actually. It would be possible to write a unix script to do what you want. That would take a lot of work. Hint; look at the mdls command for starters. [/QUOTE]
