I have Yosemite on a 2012 Mac Mini. When using spotlight to search for folders, it invariably doesn't find them. I have folders set in System Prefs as the first hit.

Anyone else seen this issue, or have I forgotten to set something somewhere?

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try.

Oh! and give my regards to Sybil. (that should confuse our overseas friends)
