I am using the finder "button" at the to right of the screen. What column view option?all I see is spotlight preferences . This is most frustrating as it has rarely been for an issue but this time 30 files scattered all over the place is bad news. I think I have fond the items manually opening up 100 folders but as I said manually doing this is a PITA. Ed Hello Ed You are using spotlight, after typing in your search and the list appears the first item (at the top) is show all, when you click on this it will open another window in list view, select the file you are looking for with a single click, in the bottom of this window is the location of the file you are looking for.
