Finder uses the Spotlight index....



Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac

the best method above all others I have witnessed is the drag and drop of the Macintosh HD




you can see it working, not uncommon to here the fans ramp up as it re-indexes

enter something into the search field...

hi again ..... i think i found the problem .

when i open DISKUTILITY to give maintenance [[every week]] to my disk, I realize that PARTITION number 2 is a problem, and I have discovered that SEARCH does not find anything that is in that partition.

the computer and partition 2 work fine, but it gives me this error, I leave the photo below.

The question would be how could you fix this error ?

thank you.

hi again .. sorry ,

I followed your suggestion, to format and delete the partition, and if it worked, I even gave it the scan disk, and everything was correct, but 4 days later, I gave it the scan disk again and it gives me the same error.

however, the search now works perfectly on ALL TWO partitions./
