Sonoma 14.7.1 and as some people report, Seqouia too:
Spotlight repeatedly fails. Reindexing works for a while, but then it breaks again, Spotlight stops working/searching across MacOS (Mail, Notes, etc)
Apple Mail Smart Mailboxes stop working, after several hours of mailbox rebuilding, they work for a while, but break again.
WHAT IS GOING ON???
PLEASE people, read posts before You rush to answer!
I know how to reindex Spotlight, thank You. The issue here is that it DOES NOT help. After a brief period Spotllight breaks again and I have to repeat the process which takes about half an hour on my Macbook Pro.
Have you tried this.
sudo mdutil -a -i off
sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight*
sudo mdutil -a -i on
sudo mdutil -E
Other people have turned their FileVault off and it seems to help.
