.Neo Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) Starting today I'm unable to preform searches via the Spotlight Menu. When typing something for the first time the normal Spotlight Menu appears, after that it just goes blank without displaying any results. When accessing it for the second time only the Spotlight icon changes to a pressed state but nothing happens beyond that. Everything was fine yesterday, the only thing I did today was reindex Spotlight. Edit: The really messed-up part is that there's nothing wrong with the Aqua resources used by Spotlight, at least so it seems. When forcing Spotlight to Reindex via Terminal the default "Please wait while Spotlight is indexing" menu shows up just fine. It just won't display any search results. :/ Edited January 27, 2006 by Neowave Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/425647-spotlight-menu-messed-up/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etc. Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 This has happened to me before, but seemed to fix itself after a couple reboots. I don't know what to say other than to try that first :\ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/425647-spotlight-menu-messed-up/#findComment-587123861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
