10.4: Create Spotlight indexes for networked volumes
Authored by: matteus on Jul 12, '05 04:10:05PM
This works great, and I can verify that my SMB shared files are indexed with:
mdls /Volumes/volumename/filename
However neither the spotlight menubar interface or mdfind searches the indices that contain these SMB volumes. This is a great tip to keep my SMB volumes indexed, but if I can't search these indices then what's really the point? Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
matteus

To search on them you first cmd-f to bring up a find window and then click "servers"... that will search any mounted drives.
