10.4: Completely disable Spotlight
FYI - Over at MacFixit this morning they mentioned you can turn off Spotlight by editing /etc/hostconfig to change "SPOTLIGHT=-YES-" to "SPOTLIGHT=-NO-".
Not Quite Everything
While this hint will allow you to disable spotlight, it will not remove everything related to spotlight entirely. When new files are created, they have metadata associated with them (in theory anyway...) which is stored in extended attributes. These will remain on your HD and they are attached to specific files, not a global index.
Not Quite Everything
I absolutely agree with your statement(s).
Not Quite Everything - Incorrect on System Prefs
I turned off Spotlight by editing its line in /private/etc/hostconfig, and restarted. |
