Spotlight DOES NOT work in Safe Boot under El Capitan (it used to do so under older OS's). But before I take the time to do that, I wanted to double check: Is it really the case that Spotlight should operate in Safe Mode? I couldn't find any online documentation addressing this, so I'm asking here. with the Genius Bar and have them check the computer. Since reinstalling the OS didn't fix the problem, they say I need to make an appt. No folders are excluded from Spotlight in the Privacy Pane.Īccording to Apple phone support, Spotlight should be fully functional in Safe Mode. To check Spotlight, I booted into Safe Mode, and found that Spotlight doesn't work at all there. Outlook uses Spotlight for indexing (consistent with this, when I search for those emails directly in Spotlight, it doesn't see them), so I'm trying to determine if the problem is Outlook or Spotlight. I'm having problems finding imported (but not new) emails in the Outlook 2016 database (can find keywords in the subject line or email address, but not in text body) same emails imported into Apple Mail are fine. Quick question summary: Under 10.11.6, is Spotlight supposed to be fully functional in Safe Mode? Apple Support says yes, but wanted to confirm.
