So the Powers That Be have decided that FSearch should never find a directory. Fantastic. So how *do* I find a directory (for example, to confirm if one exists?)

To check if a directory exists you can use the function "DirectoryExists('/path/to/directory')". To traverse your filesystem, just use findfirst-findnext: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/findfirst.html

Okay, thanks. It seems I was looking for the answer in the wrong part of the manual. :)
