Search scope — is there a way to search for files within all folders that have a specific name?

[AlexA]

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to figure out whether I can create a File Filter that searches within any folder that has a specific name, but I don't want to have to manually identify all of those folders in advance.

 

In other words, if I have a folder structure like this, the File Filter will search within the two subdirectories listed based on their name:

 

~/TEST/relevant-folder-name/

~/TEST2/relevant-folder-name/

 

Is that possible?

 

Thanks for any help!

@AlexA This isn't possible with the File Filter Input because that's what tags are for. You can configure the File Filter's Search Fields to search the kMDItemUserTags metadata field, with the value set to the relevant tag name.

 

Alternatively, I do have a Tag Finder Workflow with a slightly richer UI.
