Maybe I just can't figure it out.. But is there anyway for search to find folders??? This would be a very useful feature if it's not already there and I'm an idoit because I can't find it . Thanks!

The normal search function also finds folders. You cannot restrict the search just to folders, but they will be listed first.

Nonono... What I'm saying is that it doesn't appear as if the normal search function is finding folders... in system folders, data/app-lib... when I search for part of one of the folder names, the search always comes up empty.. maybe I just have a bad install. Thanks for your response.

Hmm, I just tried it, went to /data and searched for
da*

That found things like "/data/data" or "/data/dalvik-cache". I could also find folders searching in "data/app-lib".

Please note that if you enter a dot, you must use the * wildcard, otherwise TC will look for the EXACT match. Example: If you want to find folders starting with "com.", you have to use
com.*

That would be it.... the darn dot.... thank you, that advice resolved it.
