Question

Searching in mail does not work

Searching for mail in Apple mail has become absolutly worthless. We booked a hotel and trying to find the email and no matter what i type, the Trip ID, the hotel, Homewood Stuites, Hilton, Houston and the resutls are either nothing, or everyting but what i want.

Can anyting be done because this is ruining my apple experience.

And how do i permenantly change the what is the topic about? It constantly lists 3 old operating systems i no longer use and its beyone frustrating to contsantly have to change it. How do i make Montery permenant and get rid of the others?

Rebuild your Spotlight index.

You only have 15 minutes from the time you post to edit the topic entry. I can see if a moderator can edit the post for you.

You will need to edit your support community profile information to modify what your operating system is.

When you post, scroll beyond the formatting toolbar, and the Post/Cancel buttons, and you will find how to edit your visible profile of what you are requesting information about You can choose a different device to indicate your question is about something else. Below is what I have, but yours may be different:

Why do i want to prevent spotlight from searching my HDD or document folder. Seems like an exercise in futility to add it then remove it. I tried it so lets see what happens.

And i did not want to chage the topic of the post, just the part of what is the topic related to at the bottom.

Also evertime i post i change to another topic and its worthless as the old OS show up every time no matter how many times I change it to Montery. How do i make it stick?
