How to force rebuild the spotlight DB

Apparently is my spotlight DB not up-to-date and the Support Article doesnt works for me or for my iMac.

Any alternative Idea or workaround ?

GUI or CLI solution required

Thanks!

Can't get spotlight to work properly - only searches some of the classes of available datga Not sure why this is happening: Apotlight - for all users accounts on this machine - is not showing search results that should come from Events and Reminders (Calendar), Contacts, and Documents (and probably others...) Yes these categories are selected / checked in each user's Spotlight preferences. I tried unselecting and then reselecting, to no effect. I also tried using mdutil to reset everything, all the way up to doing mdutil -i off / sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight-V100. (yes, this is where the database is found) mdutil -i on / mdutil -E / No luck..... is driving me slowly crazy .... Is there something else I should try? Could any anti-virus stuff be getting in the way? I also can't honestly say when this started to not work ... I first realized I had an issue when I realized I could no longer search for events in the calendar app...

Spotlight - Actually I use HoudahSpot and prefer that but it does rely on Spotlight's indexing - not sure why but the Spotlight index either was deleted or corrupted or whatever. Is there a way to tell whether it's rebuilding or to force its rebuild? To see the status of the re-indexing??? Am on Mojave

Spotlight not working at a tenth of its functionality prior to the upgrade to Big Sur. I've rebuilt the index several times and it does nothing to improve the function of spotlight since upgrade to Big Sur. C'mon apple...fix it!!!!! It is just awful! and so frustrating!

The support article describes the GUI method.

As far as a Terminal solution, see: Terminal 101: rebuild the Spotlight Index on the fly
