Spotlight slowed down dramatically

groutchmeuh

Hello, 

Spotlight is dramatically slowed down by SAV. 

It takes 30 seconds to get search results displayed vs immediate lightning fast display before or after inactivating "controle sur acces" (maybe this is online screening in English). But inactivating this screening is a pity .

I'd like to exclude the spotlight index but I can't find where it is.

Could anyone tell me a solution ?

    Have you done full scan on your boot volume? If not then do that first and after that try Spotlight again. Personally I haven't seen any noticeable difference between Spotlight speed if on-access scan is on or off. Regarding usability with on-access scanning off, you can naturally use manual scanning so you might want to set a custom scan for download folder etc. and ran it every now and then. Also do run the full system boot volume scan regularly if you don't use on-access scanning. However, as said my Mac's are not suffering from Spotlight slowdown when on-access is turned on. So try running full scan on all your volumes and try Spotlight again.
