Reindexing Spotlight
by Bill on Apr.11, 2009, under Mac /OS X
First off, as far as OS search tools go…Apple did get Spotlight right this time around in Leopard. Well, I ended up corrupting some of the permissions on my drive and in the course of things broke Spotllight. After fixing the permission issues on my machine, I still had an incomplete index…. Here is how to rebuild the indexes…
- Open System Preferences
- Open Spotlight Prefs
- Click the Privacy Tab
- Click the + and add your drive to re-index
- Wait about 30 seconds and then delete it from the Privacy list. This will force Spotlight to reindex the target drive again.
