Is it possible when doing a full Local Disks search to set it to “All except Time Machine”?
For some reason my TM volume always comes 2nd in the search list after boot, so it takes an inordinately long time before it gets on to my other local volumes.

There’s no such setting, the only alternative is to search o desired volumes

Me too!
It’s just so helpful a tool! But when I realize, a half-hour into a search, that it is spending most of its time finding hits in my TM backup volume…
Please add a feature that allows us to exclude volumes from a “All local volumes” search.
Thanks for all the great tools you provide.

Welcome @davecc
Noted with no promises, of course 🙂
