Spotlight hanging as soon as I search using finder

I noticed this problem the other day, spotlight just wasn't working properly. I'd see few matches in the spotlight results top right, going to "show all" and finder would just sit their trying showing no more updates. I just rebooted and it went away.
I've noticed it again today, and thought i'd ask about it on here. This time spotlight results top right of the screen look ok, however as soon as i move them into finder, or try doing a search within finder it just doesn't work properly.
Using Console i've noticed some errors appearing in system.log whenever this happens, such as
Jan 26 21:19:29 jims-macbook-pro Finder[6772]: -[NSCFArray length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x118a0cca0
Jan 26 21:20:06 jims-macbook-pro Finder[6772]: -[NSCFArray length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1005f4be0
What can i do to fix this, do i have to nuke my spotlight db somehow and force it to rebuild it?
I presume if i reboot it'll work for a bit, but I don't want to have to start rebooting like as if i am using windows!!!

Hi,
though this does in no case fix your problem, you might want to try to restart Finder to get it working again but not restart your computer... err... Mac.
Go to Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app and start it, afterwards insert a "killall Finder" and hit Return.
Finder will be killed and restarts immediatly, in a hopefully saner state.
This does not help you in having your problem disappear, but it might just help you not doing the 'Windows way' all over again. :P
Best regards,
Mihai

  • Search using finder sidebar search options - but restrict it to one profile

    I'm relatively new to my mac & OSX. How do I use the Finder sidebar search options - but restrict it to searching on just that one profile. currently it scans both the Administrator profiles. Thanks

    In the old days when we wanted to search for something on the Mac (or Windows) we'd invoke the Find function, type information into the text box(es) and click on the Start button. That was fine but we often searched for the same thing over and over. That's why Apple created the *Smart Folder* which is really nothing more than a pre-made search. It isn't really a folder in the traditional sense; it doesn't hold items, it holds the search criteria and then shows the items that match it. Since it is a folder, these pre-made searches can be put in the sidebar the same as any other folder.
    The sidebar search option, as you refer to it, is a collection of searches that Apple created for us. If they don't do what you want, you can create your own by selecting *New Smart Folder* from the File menu and save it to the sidebar. I've deleted all the ones Apple provided and replaced them with my own.

  • Does Mail search use Spotlight?

    In Apple Mail, the search functions work poorly for me. I can find things by the category "From," for example, but searching for something in the "Entire message" doesn't find things that are there.
    Does Mail use Spotlight for its searches? I have disabled it because it slowed down my old iMac too much.

    Yes, Mulder is right, Mail Uses Spotlight for the Entire Message search (but not the To, From or Subject).
    I am also running on a flat panel G5 iMac and found that with a clean Spotlight Database, Spotlight really speeds up and makes searching in Mail invaluable.

    Thanks Dave. I went to Betalogue and went through all the posts and I finally found a way to fix the Search Entire Message Spotlight problem in Apple Mail - at least it worked for me. I have been trying to fix this with all sorts of solutions for months and it turns out it was related to a problem with the Launch Services Database. I confirmed this by looking inside my user/library/mail folder and seeing that inside each Mailbox folder, the sub mailboxes all had standard folder icons and not the inbox tray style icons.
    Note that you can easily fix this through Terminal Commands, and not all the following steps are completely necessary, but there are many people looking at these threads that want to just push buttons...
    *== So here are my simple steps to fixing Apple Mail Search ==*
    1. Attach and turn on any external hard drives you have that may have a copy of Mail.app on them
    2. Delete all OLD copies of Mail.app that you can find (don't worry about Time Machine), but make sure you keep the latest version of Mail.app in your working Applications folder.
    ~ This is so that the LaunchServices database won't easily become corrupt again
    3. Install the latest version of Onyx - free to use and download from www.macupdate.com
    ~ I suggest Onyx, because some people don't want to mess with the Terminal.
    4. Quit all open applications and run Onyx (it will want to check your Hard Drive etc...that's OK).
    5. Go to the Maintenance pane and then the Rebuild tab and select only the LaunchServices box. Click Execute.
    ~ This should fix the primary problem with searches
    6. When that process finishes, select only the Mail's Envelope Index box. Click Execute.
    ~ This should fix related problems with other searches
    7. When that process finishes, select only the Spotlight Index box. Click Execute. (This process of Rebuilding your Spotlight Index could take hours depending on how big your hard drive is).
    ~ This will give you a clean fast Spotlight database that Mail uses for Entire Message searches.
    8. Quit Onyx
    9. Open Mail.app and test your Entire Message Search!

    Hope that helps - it certainly, finally, did for me!

  • Why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days?

    why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days? I really do not understand why if iCal can sync all events, even the very old, the spotlight will not be able to search on events older than 365 days; why? is absurd; let's say I want to search for a person contained in an old appointment: iCal in your Mac with a few key words, I find it right away, but this important feature on the iPhone is locked; we have in our pockets phones are very sophisticated, but it does not manage to make things really trivial.

  • Search using partial file name?

    I know this issue has been addressed before, but I haven't found a satisfactory answer.
    I use the Search field in the toolbar to search for files on my external drive. That external drive contains a file named "housefly.psd." When I search for "house" using the File Name filter and with columns set to Kind, all the Photoshop files that begin with "house" appear at the top of the window, including the file I'm searching for.
    But if I search for "fly," the "housefly.psd" file doesn't appear in the list at all, although files containing the word "fly" with a space before the word show up in the list (e.g. - "big fly.psd").
    Users aren't always going to remember the initial characters in a file name they want to find. So how do I find the file if I only remember some of the internal characters?
    Thanks,
    Andy
    iMac, OS 10.6.8

    Yeah, isn't Spotlight great?! Give this example to all the experts who gush about Spotlight.
    What you see is how Spotlight was designed to work -- at least for hoi polloi like us. The query looks for words, not strings. "Fly" is one word, "big fly" is two words, but "housefly" is one word. It contains the string "fly", but not the word "fly". Now, if you had had the foresight and forethought to name your file "HouseFly", then probably Spotlight would have found it, "Fly", unlike "fly" being, by the rules of the Apple wallahs, a word, not a string. Is that all? No, of course not, that would have been too simple. Spotlight also has hidden somewhere a private list of exceptions. So "books" in "Audiobooks" is always a word, no matter how capitalised; but in "Cookbooks" it's just a mere string, and hence not worthy of notice.
    How do you get around this (without using Terminal)?
    (1) One way is to construct a query, as already suggested, with the Filename and Contains. But, beware! if you're searching in Finder, and you've already entered a string in the Spotlight search field on the toolbar, the query constructed thus will be restricted to the hits of the query already in the search field. So, if you've enter "fly" in the window toolbar search field, and then construct a Filename Contains "fly" query, you'll find nothing, because any subset of the ∅ (empty set) is also empty. This restriction applies to any query thus constructed.
    (2) If you are a real, hair-chested, red-blooded Mac user, you don't use namby-pamby Filename queries. You go straight for the jugular. In the pop-up menu, instead of "Filename", choose "Other...". Then scroll through the interminable list to "Raw Query" and enable it. Then type in the Raw Query search box
    kMDItemFSName == *fly*
    Note 1: "*fly*", not "*fly", because the Item's File System Name is "housefly.psd".
    Note 2: You can use the keyword "name" in the window toolbar Spotlight search field, thus
    name:housefly
    However, this one doesn't take wildcards.
    (3) If you happen to be just a normal person, who uses a computer to be productive and not to exercise one's fingers by typing lengthy and abstruse keywords (or as a Rorschach test to have fun divining the inscrutable minds of Apple engineers), then my suggestion is to give Spotlight the widest possible berth and use something else. I suggest Find File by John R Chang, Find Any File by Thomas Tempelmann, and EasyFind by Christian Grünenberg.

  • Spotlight hang on file and recreates it when deleted

    After I upgraded from pb to macbook I've had a problem with spotlight reindexing all the time. After a while I found that spotlight hangs on the file Addressbook.data.
    I have tried:
    -spotless and delete the spotlight files, no luck
    -onyx, no luck
    -Yasu, no luck
    -Delete the file and the dir, no luck
    -change read/write properties on the file, no luck
    -Drag the folder into privay, spotlight still reindexes the file and the folder dissapears from privacy
    I'm going nuts here, can anyone help me?

    Indeed, i was wondering where those files went. Previously i was using firefox v6, and when i stream media files like youtube or 4shared, I'm able to capture the files using download helper & bitcomet in form of flv or mp3 format respectively without having to manually download it.
    So it means after streaming, and i'm able to save the media files without having to download it, it has already been stored somewhere right? Now, where could there be.
    Unfortunately after upgrade to firefox v7 & the bitcomet to further version, I no longer able to capture the media files. I do not know whether it's about setting or that firefox (or bitcomet & download helper) do not allow direct saving from played streamed files
    Imagine, it's quit depressing that u had to wait for the file to stream in order to view it, and then wait another for downloading in case u decide to like it. Whereas both the streamed file and the downloaded one is the same exact file with the same size & qualities.

  • Use Finder to search just certain directories?

    Is it possible to use Finder or Spotlight to do a search for files that are just in a certain directory or subtree, rather than searching the whole disk?
    Or if not that, is it possible to sort search results by the directory where they are found?
    Thanks, and sorry for the newbie question. I did look around quite a bit myself before asking.

    mitchgrrt wrote:
    I see. It sort of, partly, does what I want. It seems like you can limit the search to one of the "places" that show up on the left side of Finder. So on my Mac I can choose to limit the search to Desktop, mitch, Applications, or Documents in my case (my username is mitch).
    That's an improvement, but can I limit the search to subdirectory mitch/dir1/dir2? That's what I would really like.
    of course. as I told you open mitch/dir1/dir2 in finder and start the search from there. the search will default to searching the whole mac but in the search toolbar you can switch to searching just this directory. and if you want you can save the result as a smart search and put in the the sideebar for quick access if you do this particular search often.
    Or can I sort the search results by where they are in subdirectories?
    no, you can't do that.
    Thanks.

  • Search using command F searches entourage-how to eliminate

    In using command F to search I would like to prevent it from searching my emails. I've been able to eliminate this in spotlight but cannot locate preferences for search.

    Hmm. Sorry. I thought when you said you eliminated it from spotlight you new how to add items to the Privacy pane of Spotlight Preferences.
    Open Spotlight System Preferences and click on the Privacy tab.
    Click the + button and browse to that folder. You could probably just add the Caches folder to the privacy tab to prevent any cached items from showing up. However, I don't think I've ever seen any other cached items show up, so it might be another Microsoft thing like putting the preferences folder in the Documents folder.

  • Searching in Finder gives no results on Mavericks.  Spotlight is working.

    When I try to find something by searching in Finder (I am typing in the find space), nothing comes up at all.  It doesn't matter if I click on a folder or "This Mac", it is all empty.
    This problem occurred after downloading Mavericks.  My spotlight is working just fine.  Before I downloaded Mavericks, I used this feature daily.  Now, I can't use it at all. 
    This is what I am seeing.  Help!

    Dear all,
    This may sound obvious and rather old fashioned but I too suffered the following problems
    1. Search not working in Mail
    2. Mail Junk and Trash folders missing
    3. Search not working in Finder
    I fixed it by........restarting my mac.
    Now everything works.
    Give it a try.
    Fingers crossed,
    Cheers.

  • Spotlight keeps searching after finding everything?

    Since Snow Leopard I'm using Spotlight as an application launcher (previously I used QuickSilver). I will, for instance, enter "act" in the Spotlight menu and find Activity Monitor, then launch it. I notice however that a lot of disk activity remains, and it turns out to be Spotlight still searching minutes after I exited the menu.
    I already rebuilt the index with "sudo mdutil -Eav" but this has no effect.
    I found this post that was never resolved...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1782035&tstart=3165
    Is this a bug or a feature? I'd hate to have to manually quit the search by clearing the search box every time I launch an application...

    I'm having the exact same problem and it seems to have started after upgrading to SL.
    When using the Spotlight menu search, the activity indicator keeps spinning and the disk keeps chugging away even after all possible results have been exhausted.
    As a test, I turned off all of the categories in the Spotlight Preferences except for Applications folder. Yet, if I search for "Firefox", it still keeps churning the disk and spinning the indicator after finding the result.
    I did notice that it eventually stopped after about ten minutes, but a second search for the same term resulted in the same delay.
    Odd.

  • Open PDF's in new window in document library when using "Find a file" search

    I need to be able to open PDF's in a new window from a document library when using the "Find a file" search built into the document library "All documents" view. I currently have the following javascript on the page:
    _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("setTargetBlank()");
    function setTargetBlank()
    { $("a[href$='.pdf']").removeAttr('onclick').attr("target", "_blank");
    This works great when going to the document library and navigating through the folders then clicking on a link.
    The problem is when someone goes to the document library then uses the "Find a file" search and then they click on a link. The "Find a file" search does not do a postback (reload) of the page, therefore my javascript to find the PDF links
    and make them open in a new window does not run for the links on the page.
    I have read the following article but this does not seem to offer a solution that will work in this situation for SharePoint 2013 (Office 365): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/7ad3224c-3165-47ae-95bc-4f3928e2f9a8/opening-document-library-pdf-in-a-new-window-sharepoint-2013?forum=sharepointgeneral
    I suppose the idea solution would be to somehow tap into the event that is fired when using "Find a file" search to run my javascript and update the links for the search results.
    Can anyone offer any solutions to this issue?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to open PDF files in a new window from a document library when using the "Find a file" search.
    As you said, the "Find a file" search does not do a postback (reload) of the page, therefore JavaScript to find the PDF links and make them open in a new window does not run for the links on the page.
    I recommend to use JS link to achieve the goal. Create a JavaScript override file and upload the JavaScript file to the Master Page Gallery, and then set the JS Link property of the document library web part to point to the JavaScript file.
    Here are some links about the JS link in SharePoint 2013 for you to take a look:

  • Enterprise Search using Sharepoint Server 2007 + SAP R/3

    Hi experts,
    I want to achieve an enterprise search using SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS).
    SharePoint includes the BDC (business data catalog) which allows you to communicate with the SAP System.
    I read in the Microsoft whitepapers that thereu2019s a need for a web application server 6.40.
    So here is the problem:
    We have SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 with WAS 6.20. We donu2019t want to change or upgrade the SAP system.
    There are ways to connect the WAS to the R/3 system e.g. RFC.
    But does this still work for search in SharePoint?
    Did anybody already deal with this problem?
    Any other ideas connecting SharePoint to SAP in this scenario?
    Best regards

    Yes - because there is no HP-UX 23.x, only 11.23 and 11.31. For the version overview check

  • Photoshop CC 2014 hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer Group Layers or Layer Palette Group from Layers commands.

    Photoshop hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer > Group Layers or Layer Palette > Group from Layers commands. NOT on creating new group and creating layers and drag-n-dropping layers into group manually in Layer Palette. Got a UI design file with nearly 800 layers and lot of groups. This doesn't occur in smaller files. Using OS X Mavericks, Photoshop CC 2014.2.2, Mid 2014 15-inch Retina Macbook Pro.
    I understand that the solution would be just to cut the file into smaller files and design each UI view in a separate file but that would be painful. And it does not seem to be a very hard task to just group layers.

    Does the document also have a lot of layer comps?
    And can you post that document or send me a copy of it so we can see exactly why it is hanging?
