Searching sub folders

[Molls-Phot]

I'm new to PM having just bought it after a trial period. The first question I have is regarding the search facility and not being able to find things in sub folders inside a root folder. The question was raised on this forum in Decemebr 2006. The answer given then was that PM was a browser and not a catologue system, but it was coming in due course. As far as I can see it still isn't possible. What's the latest on this matter?

All you have to do is open the folder and its sub-folders into a single contact sheet and then do your Find operation.

As for cataloging:

It's good to know that it's being worked on. For me the search/find function is pretty redundant at the moment if it can't look inside folders.

It can.  All you have to do is open the folder and its sub-folders into a single contact sheet tab.  You can do this from the Favorites or Navigator by right-clicking on the parent folder and choosing one of the 'Open Folder and Sub-folders' options.  It may not be the most efficient way to do things but it will get the job done.
