I store images on several differnt hard drives. Often when I Search, the Results include images that are in the Catalog - but that are not available to access. Is there a way to have Search filter out files from the catalog that are not immediately availalbe to work on (Develop).

If you have the latest version (2023) with the new Advanced search, you could try in the folders pane selecting the root folder for those drives you want to search (select the first, then hold down the Crl key when making further selections, then in Advanced Search for Source select folders, then for each of the folders enable "Include subfolders", then add your search criteria.
