Finder search doesn't find everything...
Having a strange little problem with 10.3.8. (Recent reinstall on a Powerbook G4 867).
Firstly, searching seems much slower than I remember it to be before. However, that's not all...
When I highlight a folder in a Finder window, change the search to 'selection' and type a search into the box, the results are inaccurate.
For example, I am searching a folder (containing subfolders) that I know to contain over 4000 jpg files. However, searching for 'jpg' in the filename gives only 501 results. Using the search box (command - F) gives the same results.
Any ideas?

I'm having problems with finder finding all my jpg's just like the OP. It only finds about a dozen even though there are hundreds in sub directories! I have set to search by kind, and by size and it still won't! And I'm using 10.5.5! It's not a 500 limit either. Or folders in spotlights privacy area either.
APPLE PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
