> After upgrading, some Lion users reported a really disturbing problem with the built-in search system *Spotlight*: Only some of the files are being indexed. Because my Mac also had this problem, I tried to resolve it and after a few hours googling about a solution I finally found a way to fix Spotlight. First you should delete your current spotlight index. Go to System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy. At this point you have to add your Hardrive to the provided list in order to prevent it from being indexed by Spotlight. It could be that a few Macs will start working correctly after excluding the hard drive again. *If not* you should go to terminal, and deleting the index manually. This can be done with: > $ sudo mdutil -E / After entering your Password Spotlight will try to reindex your Hardrive. At this Point some more User will get a working Search back. The few People (including me) wich get a error like: > Error: unable to perform operation. (-1) > No index. No
