I had a problem with a Configuration Manager package today and wanted to make some changes to it. Where I currently work, I'm part of a team that maintains around a 1000 packages, placed in many nested folders.
After a few minutes of clicking, I finally found my package. There must be a faster way to find my package I thought and it turns out there is, by using a custom search folder that will show all the packages in a flat list.
The trick is using "% " as the wildcard in the search parameters to show all packages.
- Right click on the top level of packages and choose New Search Folder.
- Scroll through the objects and select Package ID
- Edit the search criteria and place a single percentage (%)
- Ensure you click the search all sub folders checkbox
- Name the search folder and press OK

| Custom search folder properties |
Now I can view all packages in a flat list, bypassing all the folders.
