Why can't I search an external disk?

Whenever I try to find files on an external disk OS X brings up nothing.


Go to the search bar and it'll search on the computer.


Select the external disk. Nothing.


Is there any way to search external disks?


I know the file is there. I can type the name of a directory verbatim. The computer will never find it. Brings up zero results.
