Keyboard shortcut to activate the toolbar search box

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a shortcut to focus the toolbar search box. Searched pretty much everywhere and wasn’t able to find an answer.
If there isn’t one, could I set up an Automator action to do just that?

Thanks

    Do you mean the Finder search box? Use Command+F. Add Option and you get a search "by file name" without having to select it.

      Hi,

      Now that I think of it I never used it on Finder. I always use it on Macjournal and doesn't work. I assumed that didn't work at all.

      Thanks.

    Hello,

    In Macjournal the shortcut key is F4.
    In iTunes is Command + Option + F.

    Thanks once again.
