[QUOTE="redsox1968, post: 882908, member: 69826"] Thanks for the suggestion. I selected rebuild spotlight index from the system menu. Initially it gave me some message about "growl" needing something I gave it the okay. Less then a minute it said the index was rebuilt. I then open a folder in finder, I see a file called tracking.xls, in the spotlight box in the top right I type "track" there is no churning just instantly it gives no results. After trying main menu I went to the terminal utility I typed in "sudo mdutil -E /" - the response was the same as I indicated earlier "no index" Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
