If you tried it you'd see that the answer is "yes".

I have to say, however, that I find Smart Folders somewhat non- 
intuitive. I can right-click on the desktop & choose to make a "New  
Folder" there, but not a Smart Folder. I don't understand why not.  
The default view of the smart folder groups the by type and if you do  
not have the set of 3 "View" buttons in your Finder toolbar it is not  
immediately obvious that you can "View ... As List" to get the column  
headers you need in order to sort by date or size or whatever.  
Hopefull Smart Folders & Mailboxes will be better in 10.5.

Stroller.
