File search on ReadyNAS 6.9.1 doesn't allow searching home shares
The subject speaks for itself. I can search other shares, but not the users' "home shares." Is this a bug (or a feature)?
Hi jluros
This is not a bug, Home shares are actually created as a private folder for each user on the NAS and only the admin account will have access to it.
Even when you enable File Search feature Home folders is not available to be selected.
Hope this helps!

Regards,- I'm not sure I agree that this is the proper result/implementation. Why wouldn't the file search use file permissions to determine the result set? Every modern OS works this way.
- I can't search any shares in skylight and can't figure out why. any ideas on that? I have enhance macos selected and using smb
No, this doesn't help. It explains why this doesn't work, but doesn't explain why File Search (and Spotlight) on private shares is not possible. This is a business-class product, and should support file searching of public and private shares. The SMB protocol has supported user-level security and authentication and encrypted communications for years.
