Find files with comments in Finder search?
How can I find all the files on my system that have a Finder comment (the one you can see in "Comments" when using "Get Info")?
Solution 1:
I figured out how to do it and wanted to document it here for anyone else who may want to know.
-
Navigate to the folder you want to search in, and bring up spotlight search (⌘+F)
-
Choose "Raw Query" from the list of filter options (add it by choosing "Other..." if you don't see it listed)
-
Enter the following in the text field to the right:
kMDItemFinderComment=*
This will filter the results in the location searched to any file/folder that has a Finder comment.
