So you want it to search for any folder that contains that file? Is that correct?

If .famous is a file type you want to specifically search, you can create a workflow to search for that file type and then reveal it in Finder (opening the enclosing folder).

 

To do this:

- Create a blank workflow, add a File Filter input and a "Reveal File in Finder" action.

- Once you've connected them together, double-click the File Filter to add some details

- Give it a keyword, a name and optionally, an icon.

- Drag one of your .famous files into the File Types box.

- If you want to specify a search scope, go to the Search Scope tab and drag in the appropriate folders within which you want Alfred to search.

 

When you next type your keyword, you'll be starting a filtered search for only the .famous files, and pressing return will reveal them in Finder

 

Let me know if you have any issues creating your workflow and we'll be happy to help.

 

Cheers,
