Hello,

Have you tried disabling Search as you type as suggested ? Then if I were you I would rebuild the index to be on the safe side.

I click OK to get rid of the message, then I get a long list of files containing the letter 's'. Then suppose, I type a second letter 't'. The error message comes up again. After I dismiss the error message, I now get a long list of files containing the letters 'st'. And so on.

>> It seems that "search as you type" is enabled in the preferences, and your index (or the currently selected index, in case of FT Professional) no longer contains any data; make sure that some folders are indexed, in the "Files" preference pane (FT Personal), or in the "indexed data" pane of the "manage indices" window (FT Professional).
