Stoopid question re: Spotlight/Search not working - SDGuy - 03-10-2025
Ever since migrating to the new M4 mini (currently running Sequoia 15.3.1), I've noticed that any Searches I attempt do NOT include the Internal Harddrive (which is where all my User files are).
Getting Info on it shows the following:
My Account: Read only
system: Read & Write
wheel: Read only
everyone: Read only
Checking "Search Privacy" in Spotlight in Settings doesn't show any drives or locations added there.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I assume the System hasn't Indexed the Internal Harddrive, and that's why nothing shows up in searches.

sudo mdutil -E /
In the Terminal.
Give it a half hour to chug.
If that doesn’t work, there are other things to try.
