[QUOTE="zlick41, post: 1635593, member: 342000"] [b]Unresolved...[/b] My sister-in-law's MacBook Pro is still not showing file contents in Finder or Spotlight. I installed OnyX and ran through the options available, but no luck. She can open the files manually and verify that the existence of the invoice number, but if she types the invoice in Spotlight or Finder, it's still not coming up. As this used to work fine before Yosemite, I am wondering whether the search function was wider by default pre-Yosemite. This shouldn't be an issue it seems, and it's not like they're in an external HD. They're all stored in Documents, but it's just not finding them. It only seems to search file names. [/QUOTE]
