Built a 3-step automator workflow: 1. Ask for Finder items 2. Filter Finder Items 3. Copy Finder Items
The workflow stops at step 2 with "unable to search w. Spotlight'
I have tried the following without success:
I am running Mojave 10.14.3
I have FileVault ON
The workflow stops at step 2 with "unable to search w. Spotlight'
I have tried the following without success:
- check that Spotlight is set to search for what I am looking for - (all categories are selected)
- move my entire hard drive into 'privacy' at Spotlight system prefs; restart; take my entire hard drive out of 'privacy'
- run Disk Utilities from recovery mode - nothing wrong
- re-install Mojave
- change the display resolution
- Follow the instructions from this post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7117375?answerId=7117375021#7117375021 - Services opened a folder named .Spotlight-V100 but it had no subfolder inside
- attempt Terminal commands as follows 1. cd / 2. sudo rm -R .Spotlight-V100/ and got error 'operation not permitted'
