I wouldn't wait too long but if you're searching a small folder it should be very quick. The number of search results will appear at the footer if the footer is shown.įYI I've noticed that sometimes it takes time to do a search and sometimes there is no indication Finder is doing anything. Ĭhoosing 'Any' may find more matches, while 'Text' will find files Mac OS X determines fall under the category 'Text'. To the right side of those options is a 'Save' button with a plus sign next to it.Ĭlick the plus sign. Otherwise click on the folder name next to it. If you want to search your whole computer click on 'This Mac'.
You may need to stretch out the window to see it.Īfter you start typing or press enter you'll see a section below the search box to the left that says,
Navigate to the folder you want to search if you have one.Įnter the term you want to search in the search bar in the upper right hand corner.
