I’ve two volumes each with VolumeConfiguration.plist information:
/Volumes/Media_1/.Highlight-V100/VolumeConfiguration.plist
/Volumes/Media_2/.Highlight-V100/VolumeConfiguration.plist
Highlight works very properly on 6TB Media_2 regionally and over my SMB community (iMac-ethernet-MacMini)
Highlight does not work correctly on 18TB Media_1 over the identical community, however works superb regionally (on the MacMini).
I’ve erased Media_1 and reloaded 16TB of information and rebuilt the highlight index quite a few occasions and it is no use. It isn’t searchable over the community.
I ran diff on each volumes’ VolumeConfiguration.plist and what jumped out was the totally different string in “PolicyProcess”:
diff /Customers/john/Paperwork/media_2plist.txt /Customers/john/Paperwork/media_1plist.txt |colordiff | $(brew --prefix git)/share/git-core/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight

Utilizing nano I modified the PolicyProcess on Media_1 to “mdutil” after which rebuilt the index however it had been modified again to “STORE_ADD”. That is how Highlight needs/wants it.
I am unable to discover any documentation on this. Why Highlight is doing it, and many others.
