Repair broken full-message search in Mail
Authored by: jegelie on Feb 10, '08 11:47:10AM

Yes, it has something to do with File Vault. I had this problem too using File Vault on an account.

I tried everything I could google up, but to no avail. Even at various fora one couldn't help out.
Then I tried shutting off File Vault. Searching worked again.
Then I turned File Vault on again. Searching still works, up to today. The issue happened about a year ago...

So even if you're not on File Vault - trie turning it on and off again. It could do that chicken-voodoo-magic trick on Spotlight making it work again.
