[X4U] Need Finder help

[Keith Whaley]

If this list/forum is the wrong place for this question, please speak up.

I have a MDD PowerMac G4/OS 10.2.8/over Gig of RAM/80 Gb HD.

I want to index my HD, in order to make the Finder/Find feature as 
effective as possible. I figured Hard Drive "indexing" was the 
appropriate action to take. After I select Finder/File/Get Info/Content 
Index/Index Now... the Index Now button fades out, like it's going to do 
something, but it just blinks, and goes right back to the Content Index 
window. Nothing happens.

I went to my built-in Mac Help and it says to do what I described above, 
so that's no help.
The Macintosh website itself is worthless unless you subscribe to their 
service, so that's out, too.

If it's inappropriate to get help here, who has a suggestion as to where 
I can go? Keep it clean, please!  <g>

Many thanks,
