[QUOTE="krs, post: 1831570, member: 67742"] In the window I show in my attachment? But there wasn't anything in that window to begin with. Under the "Search Results" tab, every item was checked. That was the default setting Under the "privacy" tab - where it says "Prevent Spotlight from searching these locations" - there was nothing listed. It's not that Spotlight doesn't find anything - I do get results, it's just missing a bunch, lately the file I was looking for. First I thought I possibly had deleted the file by mistake, but when I ran FAF, it found these files every time. I was thinking I need to re-index the whole drive, not just a folder or two. [/QUOTE]
