Search the trash when searching everywhere
Try this. Create a folder on the desktop called testxyz. Use find to locate it. With the find window open, drag the folder to the trash. The window now shows the folder in the trash. Quit find, relaunch it and ask it to find the folder. It cannot. It obviously can see stuff in the trash so it must just not search in there when you initiate a find.
Search the trash when searching everywhere

On mine, although /System is excluded from Everywhere, /Library and ~/Library are not. 10.3.9
Search the trash when searching everywhere
The Finder follows the files in the Search Results window. With the Search Results window open, drag your testxyz folder into the trash then empty the trash. If the folder is selected in the Search Results window it will disappear immediately otherwise, click on the file in the Search Results window and --poof-- it disappears. |
