How to tell if Spotlight is indexing

Hi

I want Spotlight to index, or rather, re-index a volume. I added then subtracted it from Soptlight>Privacy, but was curious:


How can I tell if Spotlight is indexing?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

I have a whole list of mdworkers and they don't say they relate to Spotlight so I can't tell at all. I want to know if Spotlight is indexing = I followed Apple's instructions and did the disk add and delete thing in Privacy = but I am not finding things easily and think Spotlight has stopped or maybe isn't finished == I want to see the progress of it....I am on Sierra now tho.
