Hi Jérôme,

Thanks a lot for providing full transparency on this topic. Terminal returns the following:

> sudo mdutil -sa
/:
Indexing enabled.
/System/Volumes/Data:
Indexing enabled.​

And this seems to be the proper Mac OS default setting for Spotlight - both the root and the user folder must be enabled to ensure Spotlight working properly ( see also https://silvae86.github.io/2020/12/20/fixing-spotlight-big-s ur/ ).

In my case the user folder was not enabled for some reason which I would not have noticed without Foxtrot. In this regards, thanks a lot!

Kind regards,
Stephan
