[QUOTE="mig.gentry, post: 244761, member: 5838"] I've been having problems with Spotlight. It often fails to find documents that i know exist, i type in a part of the filename and it finds every other file but that one. I have to manually go and find it then open it, only then will spotlight be able to find it again. Any suggestions to why this keeps happening? It's not like it goes wrong and needs to re-index the whole drive, it just needs a reminder of where the odd documents are. Its getting kinda annoying, especially when you become reliant on it.
