Thanks Joe, this helps. So just index and forget it? All these people who say, oh, Spotlight issues, then reindex! All BS, thanks.

If it can't find a file or folder I moved, just be patient then?..

Is there a tool to know if your index is broken or corrupted? Either it works or does not?

Don't understand the alias discussion here. Seems ludicrous I'd be dragging lost of alias around.. I only use alias occasionally to put on the desktop.

Love Pogue's book. I think I read his last OS book 5 years ago. You still the his Mojave book would be worth getting? I'll upgrade to Mojave in a few months..

"With thoughtful tagging of files and Smart folders you could do all sorts of re-organizing without moving a file. It just takes some imagination and discipline."

Don't understand that at all but sounds intriguing, maybe some video on it? I just move and rename stuff on the fly.
