[QUOTE="Slokunshialgo, post: 316919, member: 21869"] /usr/bin/find It's a UNIX command used to search through an entire, or just part of a, system to find a specific file, or anything matching a pattern. I know that Delocalizer uses it when it's trying to find things, but I don't know of any other program offhand that does. Although, due to its nature, I highly doubt that Spotlight would be using it. It would most likely run updatedb, then use the locate database to make its own. The gist of this: Doubtful (But not impossible) that Spotlight would use it. Do you have any other programs running at the same time that would be looking for something? Anything at all? [/QUOTE]
