I frequently want to search the contents of a folder (for example, I'll have a folder with a bunch of Word documents in it, and I want to find the documents that mention a specific word). In theory, Finder can do this; I'll search using the field at the top left of the window, then when results come up with select "<folder name>" instead of "This Mac." Yet I find that every time I do this, MacOS will return folder-specific items—but then a few seconds later it will populate the folder with hits from other parts of my hard drive. It doesn't do this consistently, but it does it enough that it frequently makes it impossible for me to find what I'm looking for.
Anyone experience this or know why it happens?
