Finder is not indexing external hard drive for searching function

[motaburn]

hi everyone!


since i installed Lion, the search function of the finder doesnt how the files in my external hard drive... do you know how to fix this ?

otherwise i think i will go back to leopard, lion is too annoying... maybe because i have a macbook pro 2006?

thanks!

Try adding and the removing the drive to Spotlights privacy list (System Preferences>Spotlight>Privacy)

Also I don't believe spotlight works on NTFS formatted volumes unless you have a Write-Enabled NTFS driver installed.
