Spotlight reindex

Bound-to-be-useful tidbit from MacOSXHints user giskard22:

To tell Spotlight to re-index, open Terminal and type:


sudo mdutil -E /

sudo mdutil -i on /

this photo has nothing to do with technobabble. Well, unless you're talking about how it appears on your screen.


I had somehow corrupted my Spotlight index weeks ago, but was too lazy to look up how to recreate it. Until now - it is busily reindexing (5 hours for my intra-net drive).

John Siracusa has an in-depth look at Spotlight at ars technica if you are interested.
