How do I tell Spotlight not to index a particular folder?
I don't want to turn Spotlight off completely, I just want to turn it off for one particular folder in my homedir called 'nospotlight`
Another question talks about how to disable Spotlight completely; but I want to keep it running, just not indexing one particular folder.
You can add that folder to the Spotlight privacy list.
- Open System Preferences and click Spotlight.
- Click Privacy.
- Drag folders or disks to add them to the Privacy list, or click the Add (+) button to browse for an item.
- To remove an item, select it and click Delete (-).
