OSX won't search deep enough on external drive When doing a search on my external drive (SSD) using Finder it only searches like 1, 2 or maybe 3 folders deep. I have to manually navigate deeper into folders, in order to increase my reach.

I can't find anything about this online. Any ideas?
Have you tried rebuilding the Spotlight index?

This link to Apple support shows how to do it.
