Unable to search network drives with Lion...

Same problem here. Lion 10.7.1 refuses to search SMB shares, and specifically enabling indexing on those volumes does not fix the problem.

This app EasyFind works great!!! - http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/freeware/

It's like instant searching and the app is free.

EasyFind is the basic version of what the Finder used to do until Lion.

I'm glad for you.

Without using time machine, i woul'd like to reverse to the old leopard too.

how can i do that?

I agree, what are they thinking. Apple Please put search of network drives back into Lion.

I have the same problem, can't search network drives.

Still not 'fixed' in 10.7.2. This is just silly now.

APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS ITS SLOWING MY WORKFLOW TREMENDOUSLY!!!

thanks.

I didnt undestand how to do it, please explain step by step. thanks 🙂

But when the server is a windows one?

Check out this post that breaks down the process.

Sorry I couldnt make it easier for you!

No prob. Thanks

Sorry, but I dont see this as a workaround at all…

EasyFind is by far a better workaround.

Until they fix it, a colleage turned me on to this. easyfind...

Either its broken or Apple silently removed this feature hoping we'd all be quiet and go away.

please fix this! It goes without saying that we want spotlight searches to work on anything we connect the mac to.. it doesn't even work with apples own time captule. rediculous!!
