Hmm..either this list has been VERY quiet since Monday (i.e. no messages), or my ISP is once again not delivering any Mac-UK mail. Time to send a test message...
...but with a question, so it's not totally useless to everyone else. At some point in the future I expect I'll be getting Tiger and I've got a question that hopefully some current users will be able to answer regarding Spotlight: Does it handle network drives? All the demos I've seen so far have apparently been on stand-alone machines because they've mainly been used to track down photos in iPhoto or stuff in Mail. As I understand it, indexing gets done when you first install Tiger on any drives it sees, and the indexes are kept up-to-date on-the-fly from then on as new content is added or deleted. Is this the same with network volumes and does anybody have any views on performance - does the indexing get in the way and are the searches fast? My query is because about most of my files for home and work are located on two machines - a B&W running various MacOS versions and a Windows NT Server running Services for Macintosh. So any machine running MacOS 8.6 - 10.x would need to be able to search these in some way - be it via Spotlight or via the traditional Cmd-F.
