After upgrade to Big Sur I am experiencing an incredible slow search in mail program. After entering a phrase in the search box I can wait up to a minute or two to get the search results reflected. Is there any patch or fix for that?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.0
It's not fixed.
Look at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252035294?page=15
It seems to happen more to Macs with multiple users, and is 100% reproducible: when one user logs off the other users lose mail search.
Force killing the process 'corespotlightd' will restore the search capabilities.
It's been 24h and it still works. Hoping this update solved the problem once and for all
If the problem comes back I'll report back
works for 3 days, I believe it's fixed
Select Window -> Activity Viewer. If nothing is apparent there, make sure your Spotlight menu doesn't show any activity.
If it is still stuck, you probably want to run Etrecheck to see what may be running in the background that shouldn't be:
big sur mail search impossible slow
