Show Hidden Files in Finder Search

Hi


I have Macbook Pro 2019

I want to Show Hidden Files in Finder Search


when I had Catalina installed , in finder search, I could just put the file name and find ALL related content including FILES WITHIN HIDDEN FOLDERS, without "enabling any additional settings".


In Big Sur and Monterey , this is not case

How do I get this feature back?


I really miss this feature

You can turn on reveal hidden files/folders from the keyboard short cut— 3 keys


Shift Command . (period)
