How often does Spotlight index?

[DramaLLama]

I am trying to test out something in Evernote and am waiting for Spotlight to index my 'test note' but it hasn't shown up in a few hours, or even after a reboot. How often does Spotlight index for new files?

Spotlight uses fsevents to update metadata indexes in near real-time. You should verify that the Evernote spotlight importer is loaded with the terminal command:

mdimport -L

If the importer is listed, there could be an issue with the index specifically for this importer. You can rebuild it with the command:

mdimport -r /Applications/Evernote.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight/EvernoteSpotlightImporter.mdimporter

It's not even listed at all in that list, if I do the second command will it 'creat' it? (you say it's for rebuilding)
