How to search remote volume

[dusanv]

I have a Linux box hosting a bunch of files using an AFP share. That's working like a hoot except I can't search the share.

I know that I can enable Spotlight on the volume but that has 2 drawbacks: I have to re-enable Spotlight every time I remount and Spotlight won't pick up changes not made by current Mac.

Is there a better way or do I have to 'find' and 'grep'?

Another question: is there a way to enable the Trash bin on the remote volume?

Highlight the remote file (on a mounted volume) and right click, then select "Move to Trash. It will then pop-up saying do you really want to delete, say yes and the file will instantly delete.

Either Find Any File or EasyFind can search for files on remote volumes. They'll also work on local volumes that you've excluded from Spotlight indexing, and on hidden files and folders.

The thing is, I don't want to instantly delete, I want the Trash bin.

Perfect. EasyFind looks like the ticket. Many thanks!
