SHERLOCK IS FOR THE INTERNET and no longer is in charge of indexing your drive. You no longer search your hardrive with it either. >No, Sherlock is NOT the Internet. Prior to Sherlock3, Sherlock was a >single program that could find things on both your hard drive AND on >the internet, depending on which you chose. You are probably running >Sherlock2, and that is what is "indexing" your drive. Um I don't think so...LOL. And this is NOT Sherlock 2... >The purpose of >this is to allow you the benefit of searching for files by their >CONTENT rather than just their name. It's handy if you're the sort of >person who can't keep track of filenames. Sherlock, on this version of Mac Os, is FOR SEARCHING THE INTERNET and won't even open unless you have an internet connection. >If you'd rather Sherlock not do this, simply open Sherlock2, and change >the preferences regarding indexing. Doesn't work because I repeat. SHERLOCK= INTERNET. > It's been a while since I used >Sherlock 2 so I'm sorry I can't be more precise, but IIRC it was under >the "Advanced" tab? Maybe? It's not anywhere since this is NOT Sherlock 2. Sorry.
