Search JPEG only within Spotlight
Jul 30, 2010 - 1 Comment
Do you know you’re looking for a JPEG but don’t want to search every other document type on your Mac? Speed up your search thanks to Spotlight search operators, just type:
kind:jpeg filename With this the only documents searched will be jpeg. You can specify just about any kind of document, from pdf, to doc, txt, etc.
There’s a whole post on search operators within Spotlight if you’re interested.
I tried it and it’s interesting that ‘jpg’ doesn’t work, but all of my extensions are ‘jpg’ not ‘jpeg.’
what’s up with that?
