On my Intel mac searching with cmd+space for a file takes under a second. Maybe there is a problem on your end?

- ricardobeat 8mo agoI’ve actually had worse problems as recently as last week: Apps stopped showing up completely in spotlight. Only a system reinstall + manually deleting all index files fixed it. Meanwhile it was eating 20-30GB of disk space. There are tons of reports of this in the apple forums. Even then, it feels a lot slower in MacOS 26 than it did before, and you often get the rug-pull effect of your results changing a millisecond before you press the enter key. I would pay good money to go back to Snow Leopard.
- etrvic 8mo agoI had the same problem last year, re-indexing all the files fixed it for me[1]. That being said, macOS was definitely more snappy back on Catalina, which was the first version I had so I can't vouch for Snow Leopard. Each update after Catalina felt gradually worse and from what i heard Tahoe feels like the last nail in the coffin. I hope the UX team will deliver a more polished, expressive and minimal design next time. [1] - https://support.apple.com/en-us/102321 https://support.apple.com/en-us/102321
- samtheprogram 8mo agoCatalina and Mojave were the closest releases in terms of quality that we got to Snow Leopard. Catalina in particular since it was the release that removed more 32-bit cruft (like Snow Leopard before it).
- fragmede 8mo agoAbsolutely there's a problem on my end, but how do I fix it! How did it get to that state in the first place? How do I make it not come back?
