[QUOTE="redsox1968, post: 882777, member: 69826"] I just upgraded from 10.4.x to 10.5.7 and now when I use spotlight to search for a file(s) I don't get any results. THe search is completes immediately. From research I have done it sounds like the index is missing. I found suggestions about going into System preferences selecting spotlight then click on the privacy tab then add the hard drive icon from the desktop wait a bit and then remove the hard drive from the privacy tab and that should have the index rebuilt. I tried it and it did not work, any suggestions? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
