Search file system for multiple search terms (bulk search finder) I have a list of over 200 partial file names:

Apple
Orange
Banana
...


I want a text file with a list indicating which of them exist inside an mp3 file on my hard drive.

I can type them one-by-one into my finder, but I would prefer to perform some batch operation to determine which ones are present and which are not.
You can place "OR" between names and do a regular Finder or Spotlight search. As you can see File4 is missing. Then you can click 'Save' and get a XML of the results.
