Hi,

Just a technicality here, but the Finder is not the search engine in the MacOS, 
it is Spotlight that provides the search functionality.  Sorry, I'm not aware 
of any third party search solutions.  I may suggest though that the easiest 
method I've found for searching within specific folders is to actually open the 
folder, then navigate into the Toolbar for that window and enter your search 
criteria in the Search field to the far right of the Toolbar.  After entering 
the search criteria, press return, then stop interacting with the Toolbar and 
navigate right to find the radio buttons that allow you to define specifics of 
where to perform the search.  One says "This Mac" and the other should say "In 
such and such folder".  VO-space on the folder one and your results should be 
more easily found.

Later...

Hi everyone,
I have some big folders that I need to search through forcertain files. I know 
i should be able to do it with finder but for some reason that does not work so 
well for me in the latest os x. I was wondering if there are any good vo 
accessible finder alternatives that work well?
Thanks in advance for any information,
Greetings, Anouk,
