Is this possible - I use one regularly and have to scroll past all my folders to reach it?

Sorry but no it’s not possible to add smart rules directly to the toolbar.

However…

1. **Control-click** the smart group/rule
2. Select **Data \> New \> Bookmark** and paste in the item link.  
Optionally add `?reveal=1` to the end of the URL if you want to switch thte view to the item instad of opening a new window.
3. In the Finder, select the ​ **Go** ​menu while holding the ​ **Option** key​, then choose ​ **Library** ​.
4. Open the **Application Scripts/com.devon-technologies.think3/Toolbar** directory.
5. Drag and drop the bookmark from DEVONthink into this directory.  
Optionally _(but logically)_ rename the file in the Finder.
6. Quit and relaunch DEVONthink.
7. Select **View \> Customize Toolbar** and drag the item to the toolbar. It should be toward the end of the available buttons to add.
