Hi all,

I find that whenever i search for a song on my computer using finder, Catalina only displays the song title in the search results, whether or not I've searched for the artist name or song title. It's pretty annoying, particularly if 2 artists have a song with the same title. Even the filepath at the bottom only shows the song name. Is there any way to have the search feature display the entire filename?

Thanks

Nope, Spotlight uses ID Tag metadata. Crap innit... Your best bet is a standalone search app. Find Any File is worth every penny of $6. It's light and works very well.

I am not sure I understand. You can elaborate, ideally with screenshots?
