Hi Scott:
You might want to try the following.
Start terminal and do the following command. sudo mdtuil -E /
The e must be in upercase. When typing the command you'll be
prompted with the password.
What this command does it will rebuild the index.
Make sure before you run the command type cd / so you are in your
home directory.
Don't know if this will work but sometimes the finder really bogs
down either on my local hd or a mounted volume. I've down this
locally and as well on a mounted and I especially noticed a
difference on the mounted volume.

Folks,
I'm curious, I have some smil files which are a part of Daisy books
I've downloaded from Bookshare. When I cursor on to these files, it
causes Finder to bog baddly and it takes a really long time for the
system to settle enough to do anything. Is there something I can do
to prevent Finder from doing whatever its trying to do with these
files?
I get the impression that Finder thinks these are some type of
media file and it can't handle them.
Any advice appreciated.
Scott
