No... I think I will continue to tell him to do some basic research or
switch distros. One day it might get through.

Adjust the configuration file.

try to ignore the bad vibes here and beat someone up IRL, it's more satisfying.

man updatedb.conf mentions PRUNEPATH. did you set that in /etc/updatedb.conf?
can you paste your config, while we're at it?

cheers!

Hi ..

Yes some people i would really like to meet face to face but still ..

Right my /etc/updatedb.conf is as follows
# directories to exclude from the slocate database:
PRUNEPATHS="/media /mnt /tmp /var/tmp /var/cache /var/lock /var/run /var/spool /home/pete/nas /home/pete/Movies /home/pete/Music /home/pete/nas1"

# filesystems to exclude from the slocate database:
PRUNEFS="afs auto autofs binfmt_misc cifs coda configfs cramfs debugfs
devpts devtmpfs ftpfs iso9660 mqueue ncpfs nfs nfs4 proc ramfs
securityfs shfs smbfs sshfs sysfs tmpfs udf usbfs vboxsf"

yet i get zero file finds for any file name that i know is definately
on the system in a location that IS searchable

Thanks Pete
