Hi Scott,
While in terminal do the following. sudo mdutil -E /
You'll be asked for password then you'll see a message about rebuild
index or something like that.
Also, make sure the e is in uppercase and after entering terminal,
cd / making sure in your home directory.

John, you were kind enough to send me the steps once, but after the

but if you'd not mind sending it again, I'd sure appreciate it.
tnx

Hi:
Regarding the finder, have you tried to rebuild the index?
I've done this for both local drive and also on mounted drives and
I have very good results. A reason I've done this is sometimes
when I go to my mounted drive, the finder seems to say busy but
after rebuilding the index I don't receive this message and seems
to speed things up.
I don't know if this will resolve the finder issue but if you
want, let me know and I'll give you the steps and one must be of
course in the terminal to do this.

Hi everyone
Well, it had to happen, my installation of OS X is starting to
act up a little. I've noticed two rather annoying behaviors that
have cropped up within the past few weeks that were not present
before.
1. While in finder, when browsing a folder, occasionally I will
be taken back to my home directory. I don't know why, and it
seems to happen at random, though it appears to be more common
when browsing remote folders rather than local ones. This can
also happen when command+tabbing back to the finder, it will
simply put me in my home directory for no reason.
2. When initially starting the computer then loading up Safari,
sometimes cmd+l to open a web location will cause Safari to quit.
There's no dialogs, no errors, no crash reports. It just quits
and that's it, reminds me of the behavior I get in Linux when a
GUI app segfaults (though in Linux at least I can see an error
message in the status console). This is the more annoying
behavior by far, as I have to play around a little to get it
working correctly again. Sometimes moving to the address bar with
the VO cursor will fix it, sometimes not and I have to unlink the
cursors and then click the mouse on the address bar.
Has anyone seen either of these behaviors before or did I mess
something up somehow? I'm wondering if it might be time to give
my Mac an OS reinstall.
