Spotlight indexing problem

Since I changed my MacBook Pro from a late 2013 model to a mid-2015 model or since I upgraded Mac OS High Sierra to Mojave or since I increased the size of the memory card or its content, Spotlight doesn't index the memory card. I saw a similar post by the Great Nero on August 31, 2020, and reset the SMC but it made no difference. Any idea on how to resolve the problem?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
