Spotlight indexing somehow disabled--how to re-enable?
I noticed that spotlight no longer "sees" Application files when I search. To remedy, I added and removed the Applications folder from the Spotlight Privacy pane. When that didn't work, I added and removed the entire hard drive with the same result.
The next steps were sudo mdutil -E / and then sudo mdutil -sa. I got the victory message after sudo mdutil -sa, but spotlight still ignores apps.
Next step?
