One possibility is that the database that is used to support search services like spotlight somehow missed those files. You can do a Google search on how to re-build the Spotlight database. If you have a hard disk Macintosh (not solid state), then it could take overnight to rebuild the index database. Another approach you could take is to learn AppleScript something close to : tell finder set mmfiles to every media file whose Name contains "Sean" I am not sure this is the way to grab media files as it has been several months since I did any Finder Applescripts.

I have a subfolder in my home folder called Podcasts. I want to work with a subset of the files in this folder, specifically, those featuring yours truly. So I created a saved search that simply says kind is any, name contains Message by Larry. This search should return more than 60 files, but it returns 9. I looked at one of the file names that is not turning up and it matches case and all. What am I missing?
