Unable to search non-boot drives

[jroller]

When executing a find (command f) in the finder, it appears the find does not work on any non-boot drive.

For example, in my Mac Pro (10.5.6), the find command works fine for the boot device, but when selecting another internal drive or a connected server in the resulting finder window, the find never returns any results, even if I search for a known file.

Very confusing. Any thoughts?

Just a thought: have you allowed Spotlight to index them?

I haven't excluded them. Don't know how to include them, if there is a way.

Isn't spotlight a different search than the find command, anyway?
