[QUOTE="krs, post: 1831555, member: 67742"] I recently (in the last several months) found that Spotlight often fails to find a file I'm looking for. When I then use Find-Any-File, it finds that file with no problem and also relatively quickly. I checked Spotlight in System Preference (running ElCapitan) and all categories are checked - in fact I never touched anything in that window. Is it possible that the Mac for some reason decided to stop indexing? Is there some way to redo the indexing? [/QUOTE]
