Thank you Bob

That does the job just fine. You can even specify where to look - I hadn't
spotted the Add button before.

Peace at last!

What I do is with nothing open, click once on the hard drive icon, do a
"get info",
(command + I) then in the box that opens, click on the "Content index,
then
the "index Now" button. Go to bed. Then the "find" function works
fairly well.
Lots of the time, just letting the machine run all night to do it's
cron duties
does the indexing itself.
