readynas 312 file search

Hi everyone, we have a readynas 312 at work running 6.9.3.  I have file search enabled as well as enhance macos option selected.  I am unable to search for files through finder on mac.  Is there something I am missing?

 

Thank you

The file search option on the NAS is for searching via the NAS web ui - it has nothing to do with file searching with Finder or Windows Explorer.

Re: readynas 312 file search

netgear's 6.8 file search states:

 

"If you use macOS, File Search integrates with Spotlight on SMB and AFP connections to ReadyNAS shares. If your share is set to be indexed and is mounted on your macOS, Spotlight will not have to use additional resources to scan the share. NETGEAR recommends using SMB instead of AFP and enabling ."

Your're right of course, sorry for the wrong advice.  Smiley Embarassed

 

I'm not an OSX user, hopefully someone who is will chime in.

I'm not sure why someone who doesn't have MacOS and isn't familiar with the issue would offer an opinion, but whatever.

 

I had this same problem, as described in this post: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/File-search-on-ReadyNAS-6-9-1-doesn-t-allow-sea.... If you're trying to use Spotlight to search your home directory on the ReadyNAS, it won't work (at least not currently). I think this is a bug, but Netgear calls this "expected behavior." The response I got was that because it's a private directory, it won't be searchable. This could certainly be improved upon.
