Spotlight doesn't find files

I know there are two files on my hard drive called prefs.js.  They are in my users library.
Why can't Spotlight find them?

Searching for your file names that YOU know they exists is quiet a problem.
Option A) Re index your hard drive. Look for the spotlight preferences and click on the "Privacy" tab. Then drag in your entire hard drive. Then, remove your hard disk clicking on the minus sign. Close your preferences. This will reindex your files into spotlight. After finishing reindexing, do your search again.
Option B) Do a simple search doing cmd+F. By default you will see little tabs below the Search title. Mine shows KIND is ANY. Click on the KIND tab and choose OTHER at the bottom, there it will appear a huge range of criteria to add for your searches. You might be able to look even into sysntem files.
Option D) (Recommended) Forget about Apple at all! Download this free app called EasyFind It is in the Freeware section (http://www.devontechnologies.com/download/products.html) This app looks EVERYWHERE. I been using this for years. It can even look for invisible files. Hope this helps.
What happened to Option C??????  
I paid for a copy of Find Any File, as suggested by seventy one.

  • Spotlight doesn't find files after Time Machine re-load

    So I just got a new macbook pro and transferred everything from my old laptop onto it using Time Machine, which worked amazingly ... only weird thing now is when i search in the Finder Search bar or in Spotlight, it doesn't find any files that were on my old computer. I can find them manually, for example, I can be looking at a file called "house-info.rtf" in my Documents folder, but if i search "house" or even "house-info" it comes up with 0 results.
    Any new file (I've made or downloaded on my new machine) comes up fine in the search, it's just files from my previous computer moved over via time machine...
    any ideas?

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    Time Machine does not save Spotlight's index, so your drive has to be re-indexed. It may be that it just hasn't "caught up" yet. Give it some time.
    If you're pretty sure it just hasn't done it, you can usually get Spotlight to re-index by excluding your internal HD from Spotlight (System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy) for a few moments, then removing the exclusion. That should make it start over.

    Try re-indexing Spotlight.

  • Spotlight doesn't find html files

    I'm a web developer. I have thousands of ".html" files, such as "india.html"
    Spotlight won't find them.
    It does find "india.cfm" files so I'll assume the problem is the html extension.
    If I Show All in Finder it does them ... in a Find window section called "Developer" ... which doesn't appear in Spotlight, or is a choice in Spotlight Preferences.
    This used to work. I'm now using 10.9.5. I don't know at which update it stopped working ... I don't perform this often but when I do it's critical.
    I've repaired permissions and reindexed the drive (twice, by adding and removing the drive from Spotlight index preferences).
    Thanks.

    A test...
    Made a plain text file, saved to desktop, apple.html. Spotlight doesn't find it. Duplicated it. Change the name to apple.txt. Spotlight immediately finds it.
    Spotlight is having a problem with html.
    Checked the Spotlight RichText.mdimporter and it has:
    <array>
    <dict>
    <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
    <string>MDImporter</string>
    <key>LSItemContentTypes</key>
    <array>
    <string>public.rtf</string>
    <string>public.html</string>
    <string>public.xml</string>
    <string>public.plain-text</string>
    <string>com.apple.traditional-mac-plain-text</string>
    <string>com.apple.rtfd</string>
    <string>com.apple.webarchive</string>
    <string>org.oasis-open.opendocument.text</string>
    <string>org.openxmlformats.wordprocessingml.document</string>
    </array>
    </dict>
    </array>
    ... so that's in there...

  • Spotlight won't find files in user folder

    i have spoken to apple tech support on this and they continue to try to find a solution but.....
    i have files that spotlight doesn't find. they are in my user folder. in fact, it won't find the folder (s) one is on my desktop, one in documents. (these are just the ones i've tested). when i take the folder and just put it on the hard drive (root level), spotlight finds it. also, apparently, it can be found when i put it in the user folder of another user. i would like to avoid reinstalling the system. any thoughts??

    Start with http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/leospot.html and my mod to Finder's Find at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6725932 for what you can change so you can find stuff.

  • Spotlight doesn't find search results in .HTML file contents

    When I use Spotlight to search, it doesn't find any .HTML file contents. If I rename an .HTML file to use a .TXT extension, the contents are found. Is there a way to enable Spotlight to find contents in .HTML files?

    I remembered that used to be problem, so I just checked on my local version of my site, and Spotlight found the files on the basis of content without a problem. So I took a look at my installed mdimporters in /Library/Spotlight, to see what may have led to this happy turn of events. I thought perhaps the iWeb mdimporter might be doing it, but was unable to find a reference to HTML in its type declarations. I then took a look at in /System/Library/Spotlight and discovered that RichText.mdimporter has a declaration for public.html as a content type. You should have that mdimporter installed by default, but you might take a look to make sure it is there.
    If the mdimporter is there, but the html files aren't being indexed, it could be that whatever program you are using to create them isn't giving them the appropriate content type. I code by hand using TextEdit, which saves them with the following metadata entry:
    kMDItemContentType = "public.html"
    kMDItemContentTypeTree = (
    "public.html",
    "public.text",
    "public.data",
    "public.item",
    "public.content"
    They are then evidently indexed without problem by the RichText.mdimporter. You might try opening one of your html docs in TextEdit (as plain text), resave, and see if Spotlight then picks up the content of the file. Of course, the content means the words that people see when they look at the page in a browser. If the content you are talking about is stuff that is inside an html tag, you are out of luck. I know of NO way to get Spotlight to find that. EasyFind will though, but it is a brute force search and will take awhile, even when restricted to a particular folder.

  • Spotlight doesn't find all files.

    Hi guys,
    i just installed Snow leopard on my old iMac that was running tiger before. With tiger i never had troubles like this and the same files im looking for now were always found. However spotlight doesn't seem to find them now. They are located in HD/library/.... anything in there cant be found and i didnt enable privacy for it.
    After i moved one application out of there and dragged it on the desktop it was instantly found. Doesn't seem like a big deal since i know where the app is and i have it in the dock anyways, the problem just is that i am looking for other files that im not sure anymore if they are on the computer and if spotlight just doesnt find them it would take me a lot of time searching for them manually.
    My question is, besides if you have a solution to fix this, if its due to snow leopard. Does it not look in the library anymore?
    Thanks in advance folks,
    P.S. i already re-indexed.

    Spotlight does not search system folders by default.  See,
    Get Spotlight to search system files (and more)
    Enter the search term in the Finder window's search field.
    Click the [+] button in the search bar to add a search option.
    In the first drop down menu choose Other.
    Choose “System Files” from the list that pops up (and check the box to place in drop down menu to avoid this step later,) click on the OK button.
    Now back in the Finder choose Include from the second drop down menu.

  • Spotlight does not find files with "_" (underscores), but only for certain file types

    Hey Folks,
    this is strange, maybe someone has an idea.
    I already searched the internet for a while, nothing found so far.
    I have a file "calc_mean.m" on my desktop.
    When I type "calc" in spotlight, it shows the file.
    But when I type "calc_" it suddenly does not show the file anymore. Nor does find the file, when I enter "calc_mean.m" in spotlight.
    When I enter "calc mean.m" in spotlight, it finds it (using space instead of the underscore).
    Now comes the real surprise:
    When I rename the file to "calc_mean.txt", spotlight suddenly DOES find the file when entering "calc_mean.txt".
    I recreated this "feature" with other files, copying and renaming ".txt" files to ".m" files, and if there's a underscore in the file, spotlight wont find it.
    Playing around a bit more, it seems spotlight does find files with underscore when they are documents, at least it works for the following extensions:
    .pdf
    .doc
    .txt
    .xls
    But these extensions for example do not work:
    .mp3
    .m
    .k
    .a
    .ka
    (and other random endings I tried).
    I am pretty confused. Sure it's no big deal learning to search for files that include underscores in their name using space instead. But I'm still quite puzzled. Any idea?

    All of those have meaning in various database search syntax (not sure if it matters).
    _ usually means any character.
    % usually means any run of characters.
    - is often used to negate what comes next, i.e. "don't include results that have the following text."
    I don't see any problem on my Mac, though.
    I also don't have any problem finding file names with those accented characters using Spotlight. I would suggest reindexing Spotlight, but if cmd-f finds them, I'm not sure that would help.

  • Spotlight can't find file (even after re-indexing)

    I have a files right on my desktop that neither spotlight or finder can find in their search results. Don't know when this started happening, but very weird. I've re-indexed several different ways but still no luck. Anybody run into this?

    Baltwo: Thanks for the try, but your answer had no bearing.
    The PROBLEM (which I solved) was that the user (the name with the little house next to it), had had its priveleges changes from Read/Write to Write Only (Drop Box).
    I have no idea how or why that happened, but the result was Spotlight couldn't find anything. Once I put the privelege back to Read/Write, everything works fine now and Spotlight is once again all seeing! The priveleges are those little Sharing and Permissions section at the bottom of the Info summary (Get Info).
    I am back to using Spotlight again and I've made sure any changes to me (the user) are under my lock and key.

  • Spotlight doesn't find "numbers," in Numbers.  Way to fix that?

    Hi.
    With Excel documents, Spotlight finds numbers within the document. i.e. an invoice number, an amount, etc.
    However, Spotlight is not finding any numbers inside my Numbers documents.
    Is there anyway to change or fix this? THanks for the help. Even if there is a third party way or something? Thanks!

    i can imagine why spotlight does no indexing on data inside cells... it looks to me pretty useless to index files that have hundreds of reoccurring numbers numbers and numbers - would you like to have an overview of all files that has the number 6 in it, or 51.... and than to think of it that a lot of numbers in a table are not numbers at all, but only calculations
    however, there is a way to get spotlight informed:
    use the inspector, document (most left tab) there is a option to set various spotlight hints like author, title, keywords and comments
    hope that will help
    wished that Numbers and others were more scriptable, so i could get some cell contents and paste it into the keyword field there

  • Spotlight can't find files on my camera's SD card.

    If I do a search (via Spotlight, via the "pill" oval, or via cmd-F) on my 32gb SD card for "RW2" (Panasonic RAW file), I get nothing. If I do the same search on my HDD, I get lots of hits, as there are lots of RW2 files on my machine, but none of the results reside on the SD card. This tells me Leopard can see the files, just not on my SD card.
    The card is FAT32 by neccessity. Is there something I'm doing wrong to not be able to acess the files via Spotlight? EasyFind finds them in 2 seconds.
    Thanks.

    I've had some luck with excluding a drive and then removing the exclusion. This triggers spotlight to reindex a drive, maybe a memory card too?

  • Spotlight fails to find files & folders

    Spotlight frequently fails to find files or folders that I have created on my user. Some files and folders will show up, but perversely never the ones I want. For example, I wanted to locate a folder I have entitled "Business Card", so I entered "Business" into spotlight. I got a couple of "business" hits on my documents, and a whole slew of system ones and mail messages, but I had to shuffle manually through my files until I found it. And this kind of thing is happening all the time, to the point where I have virtually written off Spotlight.
    I have all the options in the preferences list checked, and have placed files and folders at the top of the list.
    Any thoughts as to why this is happening?
    Thanks.

    Spotlight is notorious for its weaknesses and erratic behavior. You might try reindexing your Spotlight. Open up Spotlight in Sys Prefs, go to Privacy and drag the HD Folder there. Leave it a minute then remove it by clicking on the minus at the bottom. This will force Spotlight to reindex the drive, which may take some time.
    I mostly use EasyFind (free) instead of Spotlight.

  • Spotlight fails to find files with search items

    I just did a Spotlight search on
    Japanese English は
    Spotlight found more than 3500 items, but the two sample Word files I looked at didn't have は in them.
    This is really frustrating. Is there a way to ensure Spotlight only finds files with the input?

  • Using spotlight comments to find files

    Hello
    I am new to this forum so please be patience with me. I would like to use keywords in the spotlight comment area to find files on our shared network. However, I am having problems with this. I can find files by name, but not by contents or spotlight comments on our shared network. Can anyone help me with this problem.
    Thanks Heather

    +"To organize your files so you can find them more easily, use the Spotlight Comments field in the Get Info dialog. For example, you could mark all the files for the same project with the project name, tag all your urgent files with the word "urgent," or enter a description that will help you find the file later.+

  • Spotlight can't find file

    I just saved a file in a subfolder in my documents, but Spotlight is not able to find it. It is a .png file (picture file). Spotlight does however find other files in that folder. I'm searching via filename, not content. If I open the folder, I can see and use the file without a problem. I have copy/pasted the file name to make sure it is not misspelled.
    Any insight into why spotlight is proving useless here will be greatly appreciated. I'm loosing faith in OS X and I'm really sad about it.
    Thanks

    Dimitris, my own suggestion is very simple: forget Spotlight. Disable it using Spotless, which is available here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33800
    Then download either, or both Easyfind http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/8707 and Find File http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10906315
    I haven't used Spotlight for over a year now, and have even found a way to remove that pesky magnifying glass from my menubar.
    I can find anything I want, any time I want, very fast and simply and above all - reliably.
