Hi all..
I have a question regarding the Spotlight index, and I have not found a solution to this yet.
I am using a tag application "Tags" that is relying on the Spotlight index in order to find my tagged files.
Quite often the tag application window is empty and will not find any tagged files even though I have 1000's of files tagged.
I can re-index Spotlight and I find the tagged items again. But after a week or so the files are "gone" and I need to re-index again....
Files that are tagged on my external hard disk are always visible eg. not broken in Spotlight index, but all files on my main iMac drive are "gone".
I can even tag a file and see it showing up in the tag browser, but after 5 minutes it will be gone?
Anyone got a clue why my Spotlight function needs to be re-index so often?
Thanks for any inputs.
