Unable to search network drives with Lion...

I am running SL Server 10.6.8 and can't search AFP volumes (XServe) from 10.6.8 client mahines.

So for me search has been broken for serveral versions.

Indexing Lion-to-Lion AFP shares does work, at least for me and several other users in this thread.

If it doesn't work for you then it's because you've set the Lion server to use SMB, not AFP.

My request is: a lion Mac can search with Spotlight a lion server?

that's because I'm changing myserver From a Linux machine to mac mini server.:.

Wouldn't surprise me if those users have Parallels installed, as it includes MacFuse

I have Parallels 6... and I cannot search any SMB volume...

That's the set up we are using and it does not work. I.E. Lion iMacs will not search Lion Mac Mini server. It simply does not work. Neither does iCloud bookmark sync (but that's another thread).

Thanks a lot, Mojo. I'll give that a go on Monday.

Well, I'd like to report that this does not work for me. Spotlight does not start indexing the network volume, even after the second reboot.

Oh well..

Wouldn't it be great if nobody purchased Mountain Lion until Apple fixed this. Sadly, I'm sure we'll all rush out and buy it on the off-chance. Me included.

I beg your pardon, in step 4 I meant disclose not collapse

4) Now disclose a sharepoint or directory, this sort of tells the Finder that this is where you want to start searching from.

Apple was in serious troubles before and it can happen again. It's probably just matter of time . Maybe, being too selfconfident is just the beggining of the end... It's a pity.

Many of us have!

This is such a crucial feature. I can't believe Apple abandoned network search (only working with own servers).

No it doesn't really work with those either.

Since this still isnt working with Mountain Lion, I'll give the above a try. Thanks very much.
