spotlight will not search ANY folders- all searches not on the whole drive come up blank. Whole drive searches are useless. How to fix this?
New Macbook pro running Ventura 13.5.1
I can't get spotlight to function except via whole HD searches- not folders (any), not mail. Bookmark searches in Safari also don't work. this is handicapping me at my job and I need a fix. I have double-checked Spotlight privacy settings-- nothing is private (or ever was). I have tried using terminal to re-index, using "sudo mdutil -E /" and then entering my password-- It didn't re-index, just gave the immediate response "indexing enabled."
Please help.
