vahnx Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Spotlight continues to tax all my HDD's when I am clicking around, doing other things. At first I didn't know it was Spotlight but I clicked the Magnifying glass, and noticed as long as a search term is entered there, even when Spotlight isn't selected, it's searching. You must manually clear the text field in Spotlight to stop it from searching. Is there a way to have it just stop searching when I'm not using it, instead of me having to manually clear the field?

Myr7 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 edit the file /etc/hostconfig with "SPOTLIGHT=-NO-" and delete /System/Library/CoreServices/Search.bundle reboot and Spotlight is off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahnx Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 I do not want to disable spotlight, I just do not want it searching while it's not selected and text is still in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
