Sounds like your spotlight indexes are foo. Try rebuild them by first disabling Spotlight's indexing on that volume then erase the index then re-enable indexing. In Terminal, use these three commands: sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/fred sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/fred sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/fred Do this from an admin account. The first will ask for your admin password. Replace "fred" with the actual volume's name. Be sure to let things sit afterward, to give Spotlight time to complete the indexing process. Do not shutdown or sleep that Mac until it's done. You can monitor the process using Activity Monitor - search on "md".
