Give it a little time. It's a far more efficient way for the network to run, and I guaruantee that you'll like it better over the long term. |
I don't know what you mean by getting the same search results. I have a win2k machine with 1.8c and a Mac OSX machine with the 2.x client. They are right next to each other and on the same network connection. I do the same exact search on them. The win2k machine gets at least 20-100 hits. The OSX machine gets 0, sometimes 1. This isn't just for one type of search, I have done a few hundred searches already since 2.x came out to test it out. Since I can't get mac software from my OS X box, I have been downloading it from my win2k machine and then ftping it to my OS X machine. Talk about efficient....sure.....
