Spotlight search on external drives?
« on: August 20, 2007, 09:10:17 AM »
Is it possible to get the spotlight search to also search external drives?  Right now, it only seems to search my local drive.  I'm on the Mac platform.

Thanks,

John

John, I would think the spotlight search of PM makes use of the spotlight search function of Mac OS X.  So if the latter can do this, so would PM...  As I do not yet own a Mac (something that is to change soon I hope :)), I don't know if Spotlight is able to search external drives.

Are you doing the search via Edit > Search? This always works for me - as long as the external drives are connected, of course.
