[QUOTE="newbutter, post: 1939976, member: 418374"] Good thread. Thank you all, guys, for the info. I had a similar issue and Ashwin's suggestion to rebuild the Spotlight index actually helped. Now I know that sometimes, an index can become corrupted or incomplete, leading to search issues. Also, I just wanna add that you could try using [URL='https://www.alfredapp.com/']Alfred app for macOS[/URL] as an alternative to Spotlight. Just stumbled upon it recently and I think it's quite powerful and customizable. This tool can give you more control over search parameters. I think it's worth a try if you're still looking for something like that. Alright, cheers! [/QUOTE]
