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)?

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.

does spotlight search work for you on shares other than home folders?

    I can't even get spotlight to work on any shares let alone home folders.  There is absolutely no help on this from netgear either.  very disappointing
