Q: Spotlight in Yosemite cant search seagate external drive

Hi, 

 

I have a seagate 8TB drive known as the the 'Seagate External Backup Plus.' 

 

I have formatted the drive in ExFat and I have no problems reading or writing to the drive. I am on a Macbook Pro running Yosemite OSX 10.10.2

 

* The problem is that Spotlight does not search this drive.

  Can anyone please help fix this?  


I searched the web for few hours now without success.  I have also already tried adding and removing the drive to the preferences -> spotlight -> privacy tab.  But that did not work

 

Thanks in advance!

Best

Michael
