Mac: How can I have Adium reindex the chat logs for searching through the Chat Transcript Viewer window?

Solution 1:

There is an option under "File"->"Import" named "Reindex Adium Logs".

That does the trick.

Solution 2:

  1. Quit Adium
  2. Remove /Users/<your user name>/Library/Caches/Adium/Default
  3. Relaunch Adium

Solution 3:

I added a comment to the bottom of the page that Doug Harris linked to. Using Snow Leopard I ended up deleting the entire ~/Library/Caches/Adium folder because deleting just the specififed folder did not work.
