Repair broken full-message search in Mail
Authored by: tc_nyc on Feb 08, '08 10:39:25AM
I found this thread very helpful: Apple Discussion

In particular, I found that reindexing just the mail folder using this command mdimport ~/Library/Mail worked much faster than reindexing my entire hard drive.

YMMV, of course

rebuilding the whole index didn't work for me.

explicitly importing the Mail folder did however work. thank you. I finally have whole-message searching back after who knows how many weeks without it.
