Dave's disable_spotlight script vs. privacy window

[Piggy]

You might want to take a look at Spotless from www.fixamacsoftware.com. It will help you manage Spotlight. I just used it to clear up a problem I was having with iDisk indexing that I could not resolve from the command line.

I find it annoying that Spotlight searches disks that are Spotlight disabled. Hopefully Apple has plans to add more control over Spotlight.

The handling is a bit weird. But, putting it in Privacy does seem to disable searching... but you can't put it in privacy if spotlight is disabled for the volume... like I said, weird stuff!
