[X4U] Need Finder help

[Mark Des Cotes]

Keith,

This is the right place for your question. Unfortunately I don't have 
an answer for you. I just tried what you described in 10.3.7 and the 
status changed "not indexed" to  "Indexing" and the "Index Now" button 
changed to a "Stop Indexing" button. I'm sure someone on this list will 
have an answer for you.
