spotlight

Use the spotlight resource to manage the metadata indexing state for disk volumes. This will primarily affect the ability to search volume contents with the macOS Spotlight feature. Under the hood, the spotlight resource executes the mdutil command in the metadata_util library.

Syntax

The most basic usage of the spotlight resource declares a disk volume as the name property to enable metadata indexing:

spotlight '/'

The full syntax for all of the properties available to the spotlight resource is:

spotlight 'volume name' do
  volume                      String # defaults to 'volume name' if not specified
  indexed                     TrueClass, FalseClass # defaults to TrueClass if not specified
  searchable                  TrueClass, FalseClass # defaults to TrueClass if not specified
end

Actions

This resource has the following actions:

:set

Set the metadata indexing state declared by the indexed property. This is the only, and default, action.
