Unable to search network drives with Lion...

Can you elaborate on this "z extreme update"?

My bad. It's extreme something or other. It was mentioned prior in this thread but it's slow to search it on my iPhone

As you can tell, I am on the user end not the back end.

No matter if AFP or SMB (CIFS). Searching network volumes fails on both since OSX Lion.

Searching AFP only works among Macs.

I had the same problem. The problem was that OS X Lion is to modern for your driver, I bought a new driver. And now everything is fine.

Did not fix the problem. Still broken. Incredible that Apple hasn't seen fit to fix what is so basic a needed function.

Okay, let's take a vote! What's more foolish, restaurant analogies or "Apple had better fix it and do it quickly [implied threat redacted prior to posting?] [*foot stamp*]."

the "apple better fix it" rant is more foolish.

I liked the restaurant annology

Ah ha. Nice. Great summary.

I STILL don't have the hang of iTunes....my daughter makes iTunes her b!tCh, though! I guess it's a generational thang....

these are some spotlight alternative programs that works just as quickly.

Really good news for me!

Last week i switched from my windows-based home server to debian-based and now spotlight search works perfectly!!!

🙂

see..the problem is windows

Not really, as i read in previous posts, the search failed on NAS like Qnap or on drives shared via routers with usb hub (based on linux)

This is clearly a 10.7 issue!!! I can reproduce the issue on 4 10.7 macs, none of them search any of the mounted remote servers, some FTP some not. It's miserable…

I had to downgrade to 10.6

Absolutely agree, completely matches my own experience. Writing Apple...again.
