- rcarmo 2y agoDoes not work. I happen to know a fair bit about mdutil and the like and confirmed that does exactly nothing for my particular issue. A full Spotlight index reset works temporarily, but after a while it just conks out again. Also, I vaguely remember there being a way to _order_ results, not just disable them.
- rco8786 2y agoYea this has been happening on all of my family’s MacBooks. Spotlight indexing just hammers the CPU, and also seems to be doing nothing at all.
- rcarmo 2y agoIt seems to churn the index. I have no other explanation for its behavior. And of course filing Feedback in Apple's tools doesn't help.

- jay_kyburz 2y agoI have a vaguely related, kind of interesting story related to search indexes, but on windows instead of mac. My C drive was was super full for some reason I couldn't understand, and Explorer couldn't tell me where the data was. There was about 100GB just unaccounted for. I don't even use the search index.
