Just tried this with the extension option and what's even cooler is, I made it in the root level of my "Marketing" folder and it finds any file with any given extension not only in that folder, but all the sub folders within it. This is going to be a HUGE time saver when I'm looking for a certain file. Thanks for the video, awesome stuff!

I have been a Linux user for years, and was just given a Mac as my work computer. It seems like this is similar to creating symlinks in Linux....which are incredibly helpful. I have watched 3 of your intro videos already this morning, and will watch more to make sure my setup is as clean as possible! Thanks Craig

So this is basically a saved search for specific file types acting as a virtual folder. I set one up for image files and one for pdfs and I love the convenience of it referencing everything on my hard drive for the types I specified. Thank you for the tips and the how to!

I’ve been procrastinating on learning about smart folders but now it makes total sense to me. 👏
@craigbonner
Thanks. I never knew this feature existed. It is similar to a shortcut in windows but much more powerful.
@TheWowhairmike
Man you speak really quickly, I had to concentrate to keep up. Useful to know, thanks.
@RafaelRodriguez-sy8ys

This happens because Apple Mac OS uses symbolic links to files and show up in the Smart Folder.... A symbolic link contains a text string that is automatically interpreted and followed by the operating system as a path to another file or directory. This other file or directory is called the "target". The symbolic link is a second file that exists independently of its target. If a symbolic link is deleted, its target remains unaffected. If a symbolic link points to a target, and sometime later that target is moved, renamed or deleted, the symbolic link is not automatically updated or deleted, but continues to exist and still points to the old target, now a non-existing location or file. Symbolic links pointing to moved or non-existing targets are sometimes called broken, orphaned, dead, or dangling.
