Search into folder shortcuts?

1

In Windows Explorer, I've created a folder that contains a list of shortcuts to other folders. For example:

enter image description here

Is there any way to search for files and content in just those folders?

I was hoping to just use the Explorer search bar, but it doesn't seem to look into folder shortcuts.

AFAIK, Windows sees shortcuts as files (.lnk), because that is all a shortcut really is. It is a file that contains data pointing to another location. While Windows Search can go into sub folders, it cannot follow shortcuts. – CharlieRB – 2015-11-06T19:12:30.067

I was hoping there might be an option to tell it to follow the shortcut... :( – Glen Little – 2015-11-06T22:52:37.380
