Safari 3 beta killed Spotlight?

[Arne]

Hello,

I just installed Safari 3 beta and Spotlight stopped working!? I rebooted again but no effect. I used it right before the installation of Safari 3, and it worked flawlessly! But now it doesn't work any more? Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I just found out that I can search in Finder, but neither the menubar-Spotlight, nor the Spotlight-Window I get when pushing CTRL+Option+Command works.

Open a terminal window and do this:

sudo mdutil -s /

If what it returns is that spotlighting is turned on for / (the boot drive), then do:

sudo mdutil -E /

If it tells you it's turned off, then do:

sudo mdutil -i on /
sudo mdutil -E /
