No search results when I use finder on my Mac
I keep all my recipes, among other things, in Dropbox and have always been able to search using Finder. Not only would it search file titles, but it searched the entire document, so if I'm looking, say, for a recipe that includes "buttermilk", it would show me everything with buttermilk as an ingredient. Not that I've updated, I get no results searching Dropbox in Finder--I get results in "My Mac", but that includes a whole lot of other extraneous and irrelevant items. Also, when I search through Dropbox.com, which is a huge inconvenience, it only gives me results with "buttermilk" in the title. Am I missing something? Is there a workaround, or is this just a function of the update?
Hey LoriRB, sorry to jump in here, but could you maybe try these steps and let us know if they helped improve matters for you?
Thanks, Megan! My laptop is running Ventura 13.2.1, and yes, it's only happening with Dropbox--other searches on Finder are fine.
