Searching in finder on mounted drives

[ChrisNow75]

Hi guys
I am struggling to search anything on my mounted drives . no matter if they are NAS or one drive , google drive shares
Seems like finder is not indexing and searching external (remote drives). Any ideas please?

As documented Spotlight or Windows Search do not work on the volumes mounted with Mountain Duck. Spotlight on macOS could eventually be enabled manually but you would also need to change the default mount point to omit the .noindex suffix we have added in version 4.13.5 and later because of issues with CPU usages when Spotlight accidentally indexed large remote volumes.

Hi Thanks for the info. Is there somewhere the instruction how to manually enable it and change the mounting point? Chris

Information on how to change the mount location can be found in our documentation:

Volumes are mounted in the Volumes folder in the application support directory. You can change the default to another folder that is writable.

Note: You cannot set it to /Volumes on macOS Mojave (10.14 or later) where the directory is not writable. The setting is not available in the version from the Mac App Store.

The default is set to ~/Library/Group Containers/G69SCX94XU.duck/Library/Application Support/duck/Volumes.noindex.
