I need to see what queries this allows.
(IIRC there were two different ways to specifying search queries)
But this looks perfect! I didn't realize this was available on NSWorkspace.
Thank you so much.
I'll report back
This might be an actual good application of launching a compiled AppleScript or
even an Automator action.
I seem to remember making terminal applications in Xcode. I wonder if you
could do that with an AS-OC script and then just call the application within
your bundle to
Activate the Finder
Is it reasonable to use an AppleScript to do it?
Back in the olden days, I used AS-OC to automate Illustrator, Photoshop, the
Finder, TextEdit and ImageOptim all in one compiled application.
AS-OC is AppleScript-Objective-C

Search in the Finder and include it with your app. Then when you want to bring
up the search you can open the Saved Search bundle and it will open in the
Finder. Hope that helps.

I would like to open a Finder window with a pre-filled search filter and
search results - but I just cannot find a good way to do it. I tried to
find a way through the Scripting Bridge but it seems like this is not
exposed at all.
Any other suggestions?
cheers,
