Hello Thorsten,

I am sorry about (2) -- all search and edit functionality seem good now for files on my internal drive.

1) I still cannot perform a keyword search on on my external drive. I used the Terminal utility to verify that indexing is enabled (see window snapshot). Then I followed the Apple procedure to reindex the drive (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201716). However, the reindexing does not seem to occur, and when I try the keyword search again no items are found.

What happens if you search with the Finder?

The browser is blank with no items found as shown in my attachments on Jan 13.

Does the Finder search show the files?

Thorsten,

I tried doing an advanced "keyword" search (command F from desktop) using the Finder outside of GraphicConverter. It worked! After that, I went back to the Browser inside Graphic Converter and did a keyword search (as demonstrated in the screenshots on Jan 13). It worked too! So... I do know that the external drive was not spotlight indexed originally, and then I changed that using the command lines in Terminal and then verified it was enabled as seen in the snapshot I sent on Friday. After that I tried doing a keyword search in the GC browser and no items were found. But NOW I am seeing that the GC browser keyword search works! So I don't what happened, but I am happy for the result. Operator error? . Anyhow, thanks for your help -- all is well.

Phil
