Thanks John - I also found this.... I found this... Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes Want to re-index a folderor even an entire volumefor Spotlight (part of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger)? Just do this: >From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences. Click Spotlight. Click the Privacy tab. Drag a folder or even an entire volume (your hard drive) to the list. Remove the item or volume you just added. Spotlight will re-index the contents of the item you initially dragged to the list. - - - - - From: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes Location: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301562 - - - - - On 5/31/2006 10:18 AM, "John Baltutis" <baltwo at san.rr.com> wrote: >> In my case, this is a separate simple data drive - no system files ... > > To ensure that Spotlight adds that drive to its index, open the Terminal app, > and type in this: > > mdutil -i on <volume> > > where <volume> has the form: /dev/diskXsY, obtained from the command: df -h > >> >> Q: Where can I read more on the subject? > > <http://www.macworld.com/search/index.php> and confine your search for > spotlight to Features and May 05-May06. > > <http://www.macosxhints.com/>, search for spotlight. > > <http://www.macintouch.com/>, search for spotlight. > > etc., etc., etc. -- Thanks - RevDave CoolCat at hosting4days.com [db-lists]
