If you set global-auto-revert-non-file-buffers to non-nil, it auto-reverts them most of the time. See Section 22.5 of the manual for details (http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/emacs/Autorevert.html#Autorevert). Regarding auto-reverting dired:

Works like a charm for me, and I don't need to switch buffers to get a refresh.

Another option is to do M-x find-dired, which will run find with the arguments you specify and put the contents in a dired buffer. chaitanya:

Is there any extension/package which would take a name (in C-s style) and narrow down the listing (in dired buffer) to only those files which (fuzzy) match ? thanks.
