Smart Folders are created in Finder using File > New Smart Folder. The workaround is to use the power of Smart Folders and Saved Searches. There’s no “automatic” way to do this in macOS, but there is a workaround… Wouldn’t it be nice if macOS had a way to search only specified folders? For example, if I know that a particular document is in folder A, folder B, or folder C, could I just search those three folders at the same time? To find a document, you may need to search a number of different folders. You may get hundreds of hits if you have a lot of documents, which is why many people create smaller, more focused folders. Now, if you only have one folder for a project or company, you could just search that folder or your entire Mac using Command ( ⌘ ) – F. What most of us do is organize similar documents in folders.
Let’s look at how searches operate in macOS. Here’s how to refine a search to focus only on designated folders that can be anywhere on your hard drive. macOS has a good search capability built into Finder and Spotlight, but it’s really designed to search either your entire hard drive or one specific folder.
Scanning and organizing makes it difficult to find just one document. Many of us are good at scanning and organizing documents into various folders. The beginning of a new year means one thing… it’s time to start getting ready for tax season again.
