"Find similar files" - how to use it?

I tried the function "Find similar files" - and no matter which method I'm using (name, data, picture) - I get always the same result: "No files found".
At the end I copied "a.wmf" to "b.wmf" and "c.wmf" in the same directory - no results.
What is wrong?

Yes - of course. I started in the directory, removed and added it again - no results.
Is there a limitation on special filetypes? I have wmf, sld (AutoCAD) and dwg.

Pierre, what are "picture files"? Raster data Itif, jpg, bmp)? WMF is also a "picture", but vector ..

PS: This function is missing in Online-help.

Sorry - I tried again:
one directory with 1300 tifs and 107 MB
"Same file data" - after half a second:
No files found.
"Similar picture" (similarity 54) - after half a second:
No files found.
I copied "a.tif" to "b.tif" -
No files found.

Strange, i've tested with jpeg & tiff, it works correctly.
Could you send me your a.tif to check?
