[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1627087"] If you're getting ONLY Bing results, that means that whatever you are searching for has not been found on your local hard drive. Spotlight works great, but does not search absolutely EVERYwhere (for example, it doesn't search Library or System folders). First thing to try is to make sure you are spelling what you are looking for correctly. Next, take a manual look where you think the thing you are searching for ought to be. Finally, try downloading the free [URL="http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11076/easyfind"]EasyFind[/URL] and see if it turns up that way (EasyFind takes a lot longer, but looks EVERYWHERE). [/QUOTE]
