[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 394289, member: 24098"] Is your Mac relatively new? If so, Spotlight might not have had a chance to index the particular directory your document is stored in. This indexing process happens automatically in the background and it can take several hours for it to completely finish the process. Also, be aware that Spotlight does not search in 'hidden' and 'system' directories. To do so, you'll need a tool like [URL="http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware/"]EasyFind[/URL], which will actually dredge the entire disk instead of simply consulting an index.
