Hello to the list, First, thanks for helping me understand Tiger and making it works practically without quirks. I read carefully the articles you point me to by the links. They are a great help for an X newbie. But there is always a little one lurking...Today, it's the search in the Finder that doesn't work. Type the search in the field, enter and there goes the little wheel a the bottom right of the window. It can revolve an hour without producing any result. Has anyone encountered that?. It happened once or twice before. Germain iMac G5/1.8 mhz/512 ram Tiger 10.4.1 french
