I’ve tried everything above. I am not getting any results when I put in the search criteria = image and select “Sub”. If I leave it on the entire MAC it finds all the images.

[...] you don’t want to use iPhoto for this purpose or for general photo management, you can also use the Photo Stream Finder access hack and then either hard link that directory to another, or copy the pictures into a folder yourself [...]

This only works if you have iLife. Basically the photostream feature is a waste for me. I am not going to upgrade iphoto when I own Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Windows users can download a control panel for access but Apple users need to buy software. Thanks Apple.

[...] that once you have Photo Streams enabled, you can also access them in OS X Mountain Lion through Finder, iPhoto, and even as a screen saver. Photo Streams are also available as a screen saver on Apple [...]

While I can browse the Photo Stream images manually in “sub”, none of the search options actually find them. Not Kind:Image, not Kind:JPEG Image, not Name:.JPG. Any idea why?

From iPhoto9.3, I can’t spotlight search new image files in iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/.
But new image files exist in this directory!
Why??

I already did it. But that path(~/Library/ …../sub/) is not found in Finder.
How can I do it??

Make sure that you have Photo Stream active in System Preferences> iCloud (first option under Internet & Wireless)
There must be a check mark next to Photo Stream in order to work.
