If so and I disable spotlight, what can I use to search my computer for attachments when I'm in Thunderbird? I disabled spotlight and now when I try to search my computer for files to attach from within Thunderbird the search feature doesn't work.

How do I have a search that works within thunderbird with spotlight disabled/

Thanks

Turn spotlight back on. That is your operating systems search, and the process of finding a file to attach is delegated to the operating system. The operating system supplies the dialog you see, not Thunderbird through it's application programming interface. You will find the file dialogs of just about all applications will loose the ability to search as well.
