OT Virtual folders (Vista)

I read this

========

For Windows Explorer, type the author of a document and save the search
results as a virtual file folder of that author's works. This is a paradigm
shift from Windows XP; now you can create folders of similar content, even
if the content resides within different physical folders on the system's
hard drive. There's no longer a need within Windows Vista to move files
among various folders in the directory.

=========

So the search function saves the results as directory full of links

I'm not a command line expert but surely this is (virtually) a "find"
command one liner.

And Microsoft has just invented it!! Gosh
