Normally should reside in the data dir. My case below armandps-MacBook-Air:~ armandp$ ps -fu postgres |grep data 502 29591 1 0 Thu09PM ?? 0:01.63 /Library/PostgreSQL/9.6/bin/postgres -D /Library/PostgreSQL/9.6/data armandps-MacBook-Air:~ armandp$ ls -l /Library/PostgreSQL/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf ls: /Library/PostgreSQL/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf: Permission denied armandps-MacBook-Air:~ armandp$ sudo ls -l /Library/PostgreSQL/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf -rw------- 1 postgres daemon 4248 Aug 10 21:17 /Library/PostgreSQL/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf Is it possible that global search fails from a permission error ? Hope this helps
