Q: migration - files not searchable

I migrated the entire contents of a powerbook to a new powerbook via ethernet cable.  Now spotlight can't search for files by title or content and mail is having the same problem. Is there a way to make spotlight and mail index or learn the files so I can search them?

 

Thanks,

MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 8.4

    "New" PowerBook? The last of them went obsolete in early 2006. Are yo utrujg to transfer to the MacBook Pro in your equipment profile?

     

    What Mac OS version is on each computer involved?
