How I can search anything on thumb drive using Spotlight?

As soon as I start search I show all content of Mac hard drive.

I am using Snow leopard 10.6.8.

Go into Finder, open the USB drive you'd like to search by double-clicking its icon in the file browser or clicking it in Finder's sidebar, and hit Command + F
