Enable/disable spotlight in OSX
This is just a self reminder on how to disable and enable spotlight in Snow Leopard and Lion. Open a terminal and type:
To enable:
sudo mdutil -a -i on
To disable:
sudo mdutil -a -i off
In system preferences you can control which drives and/or folders are not to be indexed.
