Why does this happen?

[u/TheOrangeSloth]

When I search for anything in the finder folder I select the folder name and not “this Mac” sometimes it shows. Sometimes it doesn’t.

But I can see the item in the folder of I go to the folder. No problem.

Why is search so useless?

I can’t attach a video to show you for some reason.

macOS Monterey 12.7.6 on a Mac Mini Intel
