10.4: Easily limit a Smart Folder to a specific folder
Authored by: mccabem on Sep 20, '05 07:20:25AM

So how can one limit a Spotlight to ONLY the present folder - even to the exclusion of sub folders?

Finding subfolder names along with file names is expected, but what if I only want to search the contents of the folder - nothing broader nor anything deeper?

I don't think it's possible to selectively exclude subdirectories from an active Spotlight search. For example, I couldn't find a way to exclude the Thumbs and Originals directories in a Smart Folder search of an iPhoto library.
