How can I check if spotlight is still indexing, in my 2nd week now So I set up my new MacBook Pro, clean install of all apps. Over 200Gb of user data I imported just over 2 weeks ago. Spotlight still shows the indexing progress bar moving but not seeing any material improvement in search results. How do I check it is still actually running? Is it normal to take weeks for large data sets?
