[QUOTE="mac57, post: 244818, member: 17052"] Have you imported the bulk of your files from Windows or Linux? Apparently Spotlight needs the resource fork of the file - the file's metadata. Imported files don't have this. I had the same problem when I switched. I find that Spotlight is getting more and more useful as time goes on, and more and more of my files are becoming Mac native.
