samvlu Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) Find Folder Download here: http://samvlu.com/download/Find_Folder.alfredworkflow.zip Search by folder name. Enjoy!! Edited April 20, 2017 by samvlu dfay, nohl, jopemachine and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment
peelman Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Find Folder Download here Search by folder name. Enjoy!! That doesn't solve what I was going for. Searching for folders isn't a problem, alfred does a good job of that already. Its searching non-spotlight indexed folders, just for the file names that it stumbles on. Again, like a massive media library that lives on a NAS. Regardless, my solution I posted above has been working well enough that I don't have to care any more. Link to comment
waffles_n Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 ActuallyActually, I think this is a great idea. There are times when I'd like to be able to quickly restrict my search to folders to narrow the results. Thanks! samvlu and potatonerd 2 Link to comment

alfredlee Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hey this is so simple that it's great. Sometimes all I need is to look for a folder and not a list of other files. Thanks samvlu! Link to comment
mjv Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'm finding it very useful. Thanks. Link to comment

jackperdue Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 This is exactly what I've been wanting to do with Alfred (one of many). Thanks so much for sharing it. Link to comment

anas Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I wanted to implement this for a while now, but kept putting it off. Didn't know it was this simple . Thanks! Link to comment

Aadako Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Anyone else having trouble with the Find Folder workflow? I just noticed it wasn't working. It's so simple it makes me think it's an Alfred bug? Tried restarting Alfred, changing the keyword to something else and then back to "f"... and deleting the "public.folder" type and re-adding a folder to it. Nothing works. I also tried another workflow with the same functionality "Simple Folders Filter" Nada I'm on macOS 10.14.4 and Alfred 4.04 nohl 1 Link to comment
deanishe Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) @Aadako: Please don't start new threads for problems with workflows. It clutters up the forum. Comment in the existing workflow thread where the author and other users will see it. EDIT: I've merged the threads. Edited October 11, 2019 by deanishe Link to comment
Andrew Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 @Aadako I just tried replying to your email and your mailbox bounced it saying you're over quota. The additional details you provided by email (with 'f' returning non folder results) suggests you have another keyword configured for 'f', so changing the keyword to something more distinct should have sorted the issue. If you're still experiencing these issues, have you tried reindexing your Mac yet? Link to comment
Acidham Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 @samvlu: Is there a GIT for that workflow to make pull request...I added "Browse in Terminal" ... not a big thing but I tend to keep my version in sync with your version Link to comment
ioemilio Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Would it be possible to set it as the default Alfred quick search? I would like to search just for folders by pressing [spacebar] followed by my query. I tried combinations of enabling/disabling quick file search mode with different workflow keywords but I did not succeed. Link to comment
nohl Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Great WF. Just what I was looking for. Should be a feature. - Thank you. Link to comment
philippesiguret Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Hi there, I have used you workflow for ages, and it very useful thanks a lot ! Anyway, do you have a link to download it ? I have the 5 version of Alfred, and I do not find the good link... Thanks Link to comment
Stephen_C Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 @philippesiguret if you give me about 30 minutes I'll upload a workflow on Github and post the download link. I have a folder search workflow but just need to tidy it for public release! Stephen Link to comment
Stephen_C Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 @philippesiguret here is the Github download link for a simple folder search workflow in Alfred 5. Usage Type fs (or the other keyword you may have set in User Configuration) followed by space and all or part of the folder name for which you wish to search. Pressing Enter will reveal the contents of the folder in Alfred. Pressing ⌘ + Enter will reveal the contents of the folder in Finder. Stephen Rad 1 Link to comment
