So, over on our networked Mac running Leopard Server I have a bunch of files in a folder and rather than putting in a complicated set of sub-folders, I want to search by filename for the files of interest. If I bring up the folder of interest and type in a search term in the 'Find' box at the top of the Finder window, it fails to bring up any of the file names on my Mac running 10.5 when I select just the folder of interest.

The same approach works as expected with a colleague's Mac using 10.4.

What's this? A Spotlight problem? I had the server re-index its Spotlight directory in case of corruption, but no joy. Any ideas?
