Finder search doesn't work properly after Yosemite update
Has your spotlight been botched? IN short, finder relies on spotlight to find things quickly.
This will take a while (5 or so mins) and make your Mac go into "jump-jet" mode with the fans, but:
- Drop to terminal
- type in
sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight-V100 - then
sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight-V200 - then
sudo mdutil -i off / - then
sudo mdutil -i on / - finally
sudo mdutil -E /
Basically in sport, it resets spotlight and tells it to reindex EVERYTHING it normally should do on your "Macintosh HD". (Everything unless you've previously added entries to the privacy list)
As I said before, it'll make your fans go crazy for a while, but this is expected.
After that, all should be great! :)
