If everything is brand new, then it should be working. Of course, if it is brand new, then how many documents would it find?
Can you describe exactly what you are doing, and what you are seeing? And then describe how that differs from what you expect to see? Please go into an absurd level of detail. We don't know what you have on your computer.
I did that and its still not working. The documents are on the computer but the search function is not working. went into spotlight and moved the hard drive in and out of private the computer says its indexing but its been 5 hours now and I cant find docs
