I'm using OS 10.5.2 everything works fine except....

Spotlight finds only some of my images. Example, in a folder named "2007" I have 10 .jpg images that contain the word "cat" in the title. When I do a search of that folder for the word "cat" Spotlight finds only four of them. This problem occurs in multiple folders making the application almost useless for collating a list of the images I want. I think this problem precedes my upgrade from 10.4.

Any solutions?
Any other search engines I should look at?

Many thanks.

I think MainMenu lets you rebuild the spotlight database.

It might take time so leave it going overnight
