macos - Where does Spotlight store its metadata index?


Where does Mac OS X store Spotlight comments associated with a file? Is it stored as HFS+ file metadata, or is the information kept by the OS somewhere else?



Answer



The metadata is inside a hidden .Spotlight-V100 folder at the root of the indexed volume.
