Hi Arne,

sorry did not see that you already shared your formatting with us.

Unfortunately at the moment ntfs and fat32 formatted hard drives are not searchable.

We are aware of this issue and I will push the topic internally.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Cheers,Lukas E.

Hi Arne, 

every other Mac supported external harddrive file format except ntfs and fat32 should work.

Cheers,Lukas E.

We can recommend the APFS file format system by Apple.

Hi Lukas,

do you mean the file system „ntfs“ as mentioned in my post?

Hi Lukas, ist is ntfs.
Please tell me under what circumstances does the search on a external drive global and with all subfolders work?

With what filesystem does this work?

Hi Lukas,
