Find by Content

Grrrr. Many nice folks are writing in to tell me that all I need to do is hit Command “F” and then type in the words etc. I know how to do that folks. My problem is that when I use the find-function on my computer(s) it doesn’t work when searching for content. Searching for names of files works just fine. But when I try to search for documents containing the word foombalakachoomba — for example — it just doesn’t work. Either it searches and searches forever and comes up with nothing or it just comes up with nothing really fast. Also, most of the time when I try to “index” my hard drive it never completes the task. Meanwhile, back in OS9 this function — in “sherlock” — worked pretty well. I’m sorry to waste everyones time with this sort of thing but, hey, I’m selfish.
