Use EasyFind to find things that OSX's Spotlight can't
Sometimes OS X's Spotlight could use some help. Download EasyFind, a free alternative to (or supplement to) Spotlight and find files, folders, or contents in any file without indexing. EasyFind is especially useful for those tired of slow or impossible indexing, outdated or corrupted indices, or those just looking for features missing in the Finder or Spotlight.
- Boolean operators, wildcards, phrases
- Extended Boolean operators
- Immediate searches, no indexing required
- Finds invisible files and files inside packages (Spotlight doesn't)
- Displays the location of each file in a separate column
- Previews files using Quick Look (Mac OS X 10.5 or later)
- Provides contextual menus and services
- Supports drag-and-drop
- Very responsive, thanks to multithreading
- Uses very little memory

The easy way is with SymbolicLinker 2.0v2. It's a Contextual Menu plugin that allows you to right-click on a folder or file and instantly create the symlink.
The long way in Terminal with the ln command is like this:
ln -s ~/path/to/source/folder ~/path/to/symlinkSo for a folder on your desktop:ln -s ~/Desktop/folder ~/Desktop/folder-simlink (Works same way for files.)Get more info on symlinks by typing "man symlink" in Terminal (without quotes) and press return.
