miliuco Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 @baketa Rebuild your spotlight index and see if it solves the problem. There are 2 ways. 1. Add your entire hard drive (desktop icon) to the Excluded Locations list in System Preferences >> Spotlight, and then remove it from the exclusion list afterward 2. Run in Terminal sudo mdutil -E / Try and comment.

Did it but: "Volume / is transitioning, waiting 5 seconds (try 1 of 15)"....and then, "Index is already changing state. Please try again in a moment."

miliuco Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 @baketa Something more is wrong. Do First Help from Disk Utility on the macOS disk to see if there are disk errors.

I think i will have to reinstall the OS... 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/351129-spotlight-search-not-working-on-any-volume/#findComment-2778639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
