Still seeing “Indexing in Progress” on macOS 27 Golden Gate beta after several days? Why this would happen? Any idea?
That’s because macOS 27 uses a completely new system to catalog files, requiring a full, ground-up rebuild of your device’s database rather than a quick incremental update.
The time required depends directly on how many files, photos, emails, and messages you have stored on your Mac.
While the rebuild happens, Spotlight search and Siri may feel slow or unresponsive until the process finishes.
@Sherry To speed up Spotlight index, the following tips might be helpful for you:
- Connect to power
- Keep your Wi-Fi or Ethernet active
- Do not use your Mac while spotlight indexing
- Try a dedicated tool to index Spotlight like iBoysoft Cleaner
