Hey guys, some time ago I did something via terminal to stop spotlight from indexing my SSD, but now I need to revert back and can't find a proper code, simple googling didn't help. Will appreciate your advice!

Did you run this to disable?

Code:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

This should reenable it.

Code:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
