Spotlight finds only some files
For a while, I have had problems with Spotlight not finding files I knew to be on my drive. I have tried in System Preferences making the whole drive unsearchable and then undoing that, forcing the index to be rebuilt. But I just had an experience that gave me some insight into the problem and I'm looking for ideas on where to go.
I just searched for Name matches "call sheet" in my M1 MBP's Find window (running Ventura 13.5.1). Among the results was a pdf in a folder. Going to that folder, I found three additional files containing that string, one more pdf and two were Indesign files. One of the Indesign files was named identically to the one found except for its file extension.
Why would Spotlight have found only one of these if that folder is searchable?
Thanks!
