Hello Jerômé,

thank you very much for your explanations. I tried to get full transparency on the Spotlight index locations with a Terminal command, but that seems to be something that is no longer available in macOS BigSur.

One thing still puzzles me: why did Foxtrot indicate that the Spotlight index is not enabled for my user directory, since you mention that this is not automatically changed by Foxtrot. The macOS was a clean install, and I don't assume macOS excludes the user folder from indexing by default. I have now changed this in Foxtrot.

Kind regards,
Stephan
