No matter what I search for on my hard drives it finds THOUSANDS of items. Items I know there are only one of. I get the beach ball and it just goes and goes. It appears to be completely brokent since 10.2.3. It doesnt matter what search word I use, it doesnt stop. I can narrow it down to just one partitian and what it appears to do is "find" every file on that partitian.
Originally posted by KidRed: It searches whatever drive is selected. If you want to narrow it down, select your home directory, or the directory you think the file to be in.
Actually, I love search, it's fast, simple and very convenient.
It USED to search whatever drive is selected. Now it is broken. If I put in any word, say one that doesnt exist, if I have 1000 items on a hard drive it will come up with 1000 finds. Its brokent with the update
UPDATE: I just did a repair permissions and the problem has been fixed!
