Go to system preferences and then spotlight. Click on the Privacy tab. Anything in there is not indexed.

Only my EyeTV folder in there (not even sure why.)

To reindex a drive, drag it into the privacy tab, then remote it. Spotlight should reindex. There is also some terminal commands to force the reindex as well if that doesn't work.

Done. We'll see. Thank you.
