10.4: Consolidate all Smart Folders in one Smart Folder
Authored by: useful on Jun 03, '05 02:37:42PM

The hint includes one obvious solution. Just use an alias to ~/Library/Saved Searches/ -- that will load as fast as any lother folder. The hint says this is "less geeky", but it's faster, simpler, and better for most people.

If you use Quicksilver, just install the new Spotlight module, and your saved searches (assuming they are in ~/Libary/Saved Searches/) are added to the catalog. The super-cool part of this is that you can choose between opening the Smart Folder or having the results feed directly into QuickSilver.

Both of these seem IMHO like far better solutions than the hint above.

You're absolutely correct. The only reason to do it the hint way is if you have scattered your searches all over your computer, which I was the case for me at one point because I had put my search plists in the places that I frequent often.
