Spotlight/Find not working!
The following solutions I have tried:
—Dragging HD to Spotlight's Preferences' "privacy" tab and away again ("re-indexing" takes all of 20 seconds...)
—Doing "sudo mdutil -E /" in Terminal (as above)
—Deleting Spotlight preferences
–Running Cocktail and Yasu, thereby deleting my cache, running all cron scripts and fixing permissions
—Deleting Spotlight's invisible folder
—Deleting mds crash state invisible file
—Assuring Bluetooth is not next to Spotlight in menu bar
Occasionally, some of these methods would give me a few results, but in no case anything like what I'd expect. The results using the Finder are the same.
I am at my wits' end, and would be very grateful for any solution to this problem!
Thank you in advance,
Lawrence.
