[QUOTE="landolphe, post: 1628809, member: 339690"] Just discovered something re this mystery: Looking in Console, I see that whenever I call Spolight with no USB Flash inserted, this message appears in SysLog: "No Stores registered for metascope" kMDQueryScopeGupter" "No store reg'd for /users/master" "Master" is my user name (only one user). I have no idea what "store" means. Does it have to do with the Spotlight Index? Spotlight does index the USB flash when I insert it, but apparently never indexes the HD. Since my attempts to force indexing by the two methods posted here, I must assume that whatever is preventing that action must lie in a deeper layer of the OS and will require a driect input from the command line in Terminal. My knowledge of Unix commands is shakey at best, but I'm game to try any suggestions offered here. [/QUOTE]
