Spotlight keps indexing

[Tech198]

Mostly after restarts, sometimes Spotlight keep indexing,, not from begging, but left off after finishing prior:

I think its only on Macintosh HD mostly, because i have USB unplugged, and it happens..

- I've tried dragging HD to System Preferences >> Spotlight (and/or
- ran from Terminal: sudo mdutil -E /

Restarted Mac, and allowed to re-index HD..

Is still re-indexng.

It finishes indexing, but when restart Mac i may see it again.

Any other solutions?

How long does the re-indexing run after a restart?

My "solution" (which I first implemented years ago) was to DISABLE SPOTLIGHT completely and forever.

I use other utilities for searching on the Mac...

How long does the re-indexing run after a restart?

Only abut 30 seconds or so

Its not a full re-index. just part of one. but can be annoying as it happens sometimes.

Update: It seems to be ok now.. kinda cleared up on it's own, but i'll see it it happens again.

It's back again

But for just 30 seconds? What's the problem?

But is it normal?

That all depends on your system specs & what type of drive you have. I really wouldn't worry.
