Q: Spotlight (Not Responding)
Recently when I try and open something using spotlight, as soon as I hit enter to open the item, spotlight freezes and I get the spinning ball. In the activity monitor it also says spotlight (not responding)
Any ideas would be appreciated.
MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/var/db/CoreDuet
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "CoreDuet" may open, containing one or more files with names beginning in "coreduetd." Move those files to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and test.
