Almost all day, yesterday, I toiled away at adding a new handler to
a script. Late last evening, after chasing out a few bugs ... it
worked! It copied about 65 files to a folder. While checking thru
this folder, it occurred to me that it would be very useful to be
able to search just that folder for file name, content or comment.
I seldom use Spotlight, but, this time ... why not? I spent a
frustrating hour trying to find files in that folder that that I
knew existed there, because I can see them, only to have Spotlight
tell me "0 items found". I felt like an ignorant klutz until I
realized ...
Mail message files (.emlx) which are not located within the user's
/Library/Mail/ folder are INVISIBLE to Spotlight.
Spotlight is useless! Any further comment by me would be an
off-topic rant ... Is there a Spotlight Users List?
