10.4: Force Spotlight to reindex a drive
Authored by: SEFey on Jul 19, '10 09:31:26AM

Who needs command line crap. If you do anything to force Spotlight to re-index the problem is solved. I went to System Prefs>Spotlight and I selected my mail folder to be private. I then restarted my machine. Counterintuitive as it is, my mail messages were searchable. I have since reset the privacy setting back so that no folders are private thinking that it might make future emails private. It is still working to this day.
