Repair broken full-message search in Mail
Sometimes, on Leopard at least, Spotlight gets disabled with ".metadata_never_index". I haven't figured out why, it just happens. Using mdutil to turn Spotlight on for a disk doesn't work then. You may need to delete this file on the disk's root: sudo rm /.metadata_never_index
Then turn on Spotlight with mdutil.

Oh yeah, prefix the path with the correct "/Volumes/disk_name" as used in the original hint, if it's not the boot disk.

When I type in "sudo mdutil -i on /", the reply from the terminal is
/:That doesn't (didn't) seem right, so I "sudo rm /.metadata_never_index" and tried again, with the same response. Is this what I'm supposed to see?

Anything that start with "sudo" and is followed by "rm" is the equivalent of letting your three year-old kid fumble with a loaded gun. |
