Why does suggestd service keep crashing ?

Hi,


After installing El Capitan I get crash reports every 3-15 seconds about the suggestd process dying. I'm not sure what this process

does, but whatever it does, it does it often and apparently not very good. I'm thinking it has to do with predictive search suggestions

in Spotligt, Safari ... etc


Any one else seen issues with this and/or have any suggestions on actions to take (that do not involve a crowbar).


Cheers,

Niklas

I'm experiencing the same exact issue - have it narrowed down to the suggestd process taking up 99% CPU resources every few seconds.


So aggravating!!! iMac runs perfectly if I switch users.


There is a possible workaround posted by Linc here: Just updated to El Capitan - now running process "suggestd" all the time
