Force quit mail
Add me to the list of mail users who's search funciton is not working. I have tried rebuilding my mail box and reindexing my hard drive. I believe the problem is entirly within mail because searching from the finder does return mail results.
Reindex Spotlight: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2409
Force quit Mail: has restored search function within Mail. But reindexing hard drive has not restored Spotlight.
Does not work!
What exactly does not work?
Did it complete indexing? Does it continue to index?

Which means exactly what?
Do you get any results?
Did you reindex Spotlight?
Is Spotlight having any problems?
Are there any error messages in Console related to mdworker?
If not difficult to see, please, this discussion, I tried to describe the problem:

If you can help me I would be very happy and grateful.
Something is blocking spotlight from working properly. First make sure you have a backup, then reinstall the os. You don't need to erase anything, just reinstall. You won't need the backup unless something goes wrong, which is always a possibility.
I tried to reinstall it. And he did a clean install. First search worksand later no. The point Imap. If you save locally e-mail that the search is running. If the e-mail search for MacBook (upper right corner) then the search works! The problem is in the mail client.
P.S. I am sorry for my English. Writing through online translator.
When you type in a search term in Mail, does it drop down a list of search criteria like People, Subjects, Mailboxes?
Or does it just offer "message contains"
Yes, that's pretty much what I see. It does not matter which I select, the search does not return any results.
If I search from the Finder it will find the email containing the search criteria in the form of ####.elmx. I can not open what is returned, but I know an e-mail meeting my criteria does exist.
Barney in my Mac Mini the right pic is the second one... is there any workaround?? I tried to reindex and force quit... 😟
