i know that i can actuly view the packaged contents of an application, but im asking if when i do a search of my hard drive, what can i do to ensure that these packaged contentss are included in the search, cause when i do a search on them for fun, they do not appear.


dont laugh at my stupidity, ive only used mac for 2 months

Nope, the Finder "Find" feature doesn't allow this functionality...and for GOOD reason...

what is the GOOD reason?

I say it's a "good" reason because searching the "Package Contents" of an application is not something that is useful on a regular basis for most users. Mucking around in the Package and moving files/deleting files/editing files can cause problems and may make the corresponding application not work correctly. For those who do need it and use it regularly, there is always Terminal (Unix) to see inside those folders really easily and/or of the course the "GUI" method of CTRL-clicking...

What are you wanting to do within the Package Contents?

well, there is always the possibility that i downloaded a certain game (not in this case), and that maybe i found a cool map on the internet that someone made, and i wana try it out, but all the maps are packaged inside the application, so that way, i could do a fast search to see if i actualy have the map inside the application, instead of manualy reading the name of each map (which could take long if there are lots of maps) . Although im just asking for fun.
