    Indexing /Users/Shared with Spotlight

    Hi! Anyone know if there's a way to force Spotlight to index the contents of the /Users/Shared folder? I tried sudo mdutil -i on /Users/Shared but that didn't work. I also tried adding and removing the folder to the Spotlight Privacy exclusion list in System Settings. Didn't work either.
