No leaves? ;)

Have you tried to figure out *why* it's looking in there? Is that a regression introduced by our QSP patch, or is it because we keep standard locations where it shouldn't be searching?

Regardless of where it looks, if the time spent searching remains an issue we could consider tapping into SpotLight to find the files.
