What you're looking for is EasyFind. Differently from Spotlight, you can easily set it up for performing the search in: * Only files * Only folders * Files and folders * File contents * This or that drive, or all * Package contents * Invisible Files/Folders etc. When you have found what you're looking for, you type Command-R (for Reveal in Finder) and the folder opens...
