A point of clarification regarding Find Any File, which was installed at the time Spotlight was disabled on all School of Film/Video Macs:
Find Any File is located in the Utilities folder, which is in the Applications folder. It does not work using the search icons in the menu bar or Finder windows - you have to launch Find Any File by double-clicking on its icon. We recommend that you drag its icon into your Dock for easy access.

Spotlight Disabled on Macs

The MacOS Spotlight search was disabled Friday, January 27 on all School of Film/Video lab computers. This will, hopefully, alleviate excessive server load and some instability of the file sharing protocol (AFP) that serves out the network homes that you use in the labs. Our school Mac admins have been in conversation with Apple and the disabling of Spotlight was recommended by Apple to help alleviate some of the problems that you may have experienced during the fall and spring semesters.
