Search all folders with Find
Authored by: cudaboy_71 on Nov 24, '04 10:42:37AM

does this hint require a logout?

verified the /System/Library/Find/SkipFolders file is properly written, and in the directory.

but, the resultant 'find' does not locate any files in /System

i'll not be able to logout until later this afternoon. so, i was just wondering if i did something wrong, or if i need to reboot.

Search all folders with Find

"Find" in the Finder does not automatically search the folder System. You can make it do so and also find invisible files as follows.
After clicking on Find, in the "Search in" box choose "Specific Places," and then "Add", and then navigate to and choose the folder System.
Next, in the "Search for items whose:" box, click on the + sign to add another search criterion. Set it to "Visibility" in the first box and "visible and invisible items" in the second box.
