When you do this, are you able to search across all files contained in those aliases? I am not. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious.
In the Find in Folder window is a pop-down menu next to the disclosure triangle in the results header.
First item is “Symbolic Links” and causes the search to follow symbolic links.
I notice several list posts speak of aliases — aliases created with Finder is a legacy thing and not something the Find in Folder will follow. Not sure which you created.
