[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1052291, member: 56231"] You don't tell us just how you're searching, but let's assume it's Spotlight. I've never been satisfied with the way it does things, so let me introduce to you - if you haven't met it already - [B]Cmd-F[/B] (Finder). It finds every non-hidden file according to the keyword you type in the search field, and displays it under various categories, eg, files, folders, html and so on. You can get seriously serious and use a File Utility, like FileBuddy (excellent), but for what you say you want to do, Cmd-F should do the job. [/QUOTE]
