It sounds as though your spotlight indexes are corrupt.
Turning off Spotlight can be done, but then it disables the
Finder's Find command as well.
I wouldn;t think I'd WANT to disable SPOTLIGHT if it can work right.
As Dan mentioned, there;s been numerous discussions of Spotlight in
this list, peruse the archives.
Excellent, I haven;t looked before, could you point me there?
I've found that the main thing with Spotlight index rebuilding is
to leave the computer completely alone while it does this; start
the rebuild before you go to bed and let it run overnight. This
results in a clean rebuild of the index and metadata database, so
that it's less likely to get in your way while you're using the
system.
'rebuild spotlight' ... is this in the archives, or is it something I
can just ask the system to do under UTILITIES or somesuch?
thanks again
