how to re-index the hard drive with Spotlight

My MacBook Air 2013, OS X 10.10.2 shows 90% of my SSD drive (256 KB) as OTHER. I have tryed to re-index the drive with Spolight but nothing changes. Called Apple and they suggest formatting the SSD drive and reinstalling the OS and restore from Time Machine.


Sounds a little extreme!


Any suggestions?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Re-indexing can take quite a bit of time. how long have you let it go before checking again?
