Disable or enable the search engine Spotlight's auto indexing. Turn the Spotlight entry in the hostconfig file on your Mac from yes to no or vice versa. By disabling the Spotlight's indexing you don't stop the functions that Spotlight performs, including creating bootable backups or performance issues regarding the new Mac OS X installations.
Spotless is a utility designed to quickly enable and disable Spotlight's auto indexing with a single click. It works by changing the SPOTLIGHT flag in the hostconfig file from -YES- to -NO- or vice versa. After making the change, a restart is necessary to apply the changes. Note that Spotlight searching will not be available until indexing is enabled, which also includes the Finder's "find" function. This tool is useful for disabling Spotlight.
