Have you considered widening the search until you get all, or more than all,
your files? You can then narrow it bit by bit and see where you and the Mac are
not on the same page.

Thanks for the reply. I found the instructions for rebuilding the index, and
you can get it to do one folder by adding and removing it from Spotlight’s
excluded folders. I did that and observed the files disappearing and
reappearing in the saved search. Trouble is, it is the same set of files

Larry,
I don't think anybody answered you on this. 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), t
I’m relatively new to the Mac, but this seems straightforward enough, except it
doesn’t seem to be. 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
