################# DISABLE OR ENABLE SPOTLIGHT #################


This script will enable or disable Spotlight meta-data searching
and (optionally) erase indexes on specified or all volumes.
Panther-style finds by name only will still function after
disabling Spotlight using this script.

DISCLAIMERS:
1. This script can disable Spotlight.
2. It will (optionally) erase the Spotlight index, which
disables Spotlight for a given drive on all systems.
3. Re-indexing a drive after disabling Spotlight and erasing
the index can take a very long time.
4. Disabling Spotlight with this script will also disable
searching by \"Entire Contents\" in Apple Mail.

Use this script at your own risk.
