I checked out the wiki for it but for some reason it did not work. SPOTLIGHT wasnt even listed in the file to disable it. Can someone walk me through it?

Disabling Spotlight
Launch Terminal and type the following: sudo nano /etc/hostconfig Navigate using the arrow keys down the following entry: SPOTLIGHT=-YES- Change SPOTLIGHT=-YES- to SPOTLIGHT=-NO- Save /etc/hostconfig by hitting Control-O and the return key, next hit Control-X to exit the nano editor Next, you’ll want to disable the index by typing the following in the Terminal: mdutil -i off / And to erase the current Spotlight index, type: mdutil -E / That’s pretty much it, on your next reboot, Spotlight will be completely disabled. Re-Enable Spotlight If you want to enable Spotlight again, follow the same steps as above, but change SPOTLIGHT=-NO- to SPOTLIGHT=-YES- and then type mdutil -i on / in the Terminal Reboot, and Spotlight is back as usual 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean.
