How odd.
In the Finder on my PB, I just hit apple-F and told it to search everywhere for filenames containing "." and it returned 10,688 results. I did the same on my tower and it successfully returned 14,044 results.
However, the status icon kept on spinning despite there being no more hard drive access or CPU usage. So, I repeated my search with the exact same settings.
On the PB it only returned 9,540 items and the tower 12,957. On top of that, after one of the searches, the Finder just broke. Navigating into certain folders turned up empty with the status icon spinning forever. Weird.
It sounds like there's a problem generally with Finder's searching function, a memory leak or ceiling or something related. Yikes!
