Glad you found your cards! I obviously cannot do anything about
confusing searching in OSX itself, but prompted by your ordeal, on OSX
Mnemosyne will now show where it backed up your 1.x cards after upgrade.
Cheers,
Peter

I was clicking "Open" rather than "Import," but I still cannot figure
out why I was unable to find the cards (and still can't) searching from
any finder box other than the one that pops up if I click "Import" when
I have Mnemosyne open.
On my typical Finder window or if I click "Open" from Mnemosyne or any
other program, if I click "Andrew's Mac" and then "Library" there is no
"Mnemosyne" folder and no "Mnemosyne1" folder. What's more, if I search
for .mem files on my computer via Spotlight or the Finder search, it
says I don't have any such files. Nor can it find the files if I search
for text that I know to appear in the cards themselves.
If, however, I click "Import" with the program, I get what appears to be
an identical finder box, but in this one, my "Library" folder has
subfolders entitled both Mnemosyne and Mnemosyne1. I find that very
confusing. Indeed, I find everything about how computers organize
information internally confusing, but I found this particularly so.
I don't understand why there is no longer a program like Google desktop
that easily and unerringly finds whatever you have ever seen on your
computer, be it on the machine itself on online.
Anyway, thank you again. And I will make sure to back this up regularly,
just in case I do not get so lucky next time.
