Yes, that was my idea too. But I can't seem to find where I can point Spotlight to this folder specifically. I did find where I can exclude it from a search though, but that's the opposite of what I want.

Also, I've learned that there seems to be a difference between the search via Spotlight (top right of the screen) and the search in Finder. In general, Spotlight tends to find a lot more stuff than finder does (but not in this case sadly).

Indeed. I've noticed this very same thing.

That's also one of the suggestions I found through Google: somebody said to use a different search program. If I don't find the issue, I might as well go with that. Shame though...
