  • Terminal Commands for Improving Spotlight | Spotlight, Terminal | Mac OS X Tips
    Terminal commands for improving Spotlight | Spotlight, Termina... http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/index_files/terminal-commands-fo... Mac OS X Tips Terminal commands for improving Spotlight 29 April 2009 - Filed in: Spotlight Terminal Spotlight works great most of the time, but occasionally you may need to do a bit of tinkering to get it to work properly. Most of us have probably had a problem where Spotlight won’t find a file you know is there. Here are a few Terminal commands for changing hidden Spotlight settings, performing more complicated searches and updating the index. Add a file to the Spotlight index In theory, all files are added to the Spotlight index when they are created. However, every now and again something goes wrong and a stubborn file might refuse to show up. To manually add it to the index, you can use the following command. Start by opening up Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities). Type in mdimport and then hit the space bar. Next, find the file you want to add in the Finder, and drag it onto the Terminal window. Terminal should automatically type in the path to the file for you. Of course, if you know the path you can type it in manually yourself. Finally, hit return and the file should now show up in you Spotlight searches. Add a folder to the Spotlight index Adding a folder works in exactly the same way as with a file. However, in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and earlier, the command is slightly diferent if you want the contents of the folder to be indexed too.
