In Finder, start off at the folder you want to search (e.g., navigate there by selecting places in the sidebar and your arrow keys, or by using standard shortcuts for specific folders like Command-Shift-D for Desktop, Command-Shift A for Applications, Command-Shift-H for Home, etc., or by using "Go to Folder" Command-Shift-G and typing the path, which could be to an external hard drive). Then go to the search field in the toolbar (I use Command-Option-F, but you can navigate with your arrow keys, etc.). Type in a search term, stop interacting with the tool bar (VO-Shift-Up arrow). Then VO-Right arrow to the table. You'll now hear "Search" "This Mac" "Your Folder" "Contents" "File name". "Your Folder" will be the selected radio button. Your search term will be matched to any of the contents entries, which could be name or kind. You can press the "File name" button to match file name. VO-Right arrow past the file name to the "+" button and press it (VO-Space) to get pop up buttons for more search terms like "Name" "ends with" and type in your argument. You can add more selections by continuing to VO-Right arrow and press the "+" button, then add arguments like "Kind" is "Music" or "Last Modified Date" is "within the last" 2 "days", etc. When you finish adding rules, VO- right arrow to the table of results, interact, and examine the selections.
