Hey folks, bit of a weird one, the file search in Dreamweaver 2017.1 has stopped working - see image below. Anyone else experiencing this or know a fix?

Hi,

Live Search uses the Spotlight API in Mac OS. Any customization that you apply to Spotlight preferences is also used for Live Search. Spotlight displays all files on your computer that match your search query.

Can you please check Spotlight settings or send us a screenshot of that so that we can help you better.

Embarassingly... it was a computer restart that fixed it. It must have indeed been spotlight that had stopped working.

Do you have WordPress defined in a local testing server?

And your testing server is running normally?

To be fair, I have never setup test servers. My dev environment is Dreamweaver and Mamp. I usually setup a new host in Mamp and that is all I need? The search has always worked... it literally just seems to have stopped in the past week or so.
