searching my external hard drive
I have the latest MacBook Pro, Lion, a Time Capsule (1TB) and a 1TB external hard drive connected to my Time Capsule. I access my external drive via my WiFi network.
The other day I was trying to find a file that I believed to be on my external hard drive. I tried to use Spotlight to find it, but no luck. But I didn't trust the search results and started to browse my drive. And that's when I noticed that my Spotlight results were not very good. It appears that Spotlight is not able to find the files on my external HD very well. I tried searching for a file I first confirmed was actually on the drive and Spotlight could not find it. Does this mean I have to fix the index of my external HD? Is this a bug with Lion? If it's my index, how do I repair it? (I don't use this drive often and when I do, I usually just navigate to the folder where my files are. I'm not a big Spotlight user, but this time I needed to find a specific file. So I'm not sure when the searching problem started - before or after the Lion upgrade...)
