Answer Key Of Spotlight On Cae
Vaniria Setser
I'm really new in this stuff. I want to make a simple 3D scene, where i can fly around with PointerLockControls, but i want also to have some kind of flashlight. So spot light should point same direction as camera does.
Since a SpotLight's .target needs to be an object (and not a position) I found it mentally easier to simply place the flashlight directly behind the camera, and then aim it at the camera. Thus the light shines through the camera and lights up the things in front of it.
Answer Key Of Spotlight On Cae
Inspired by WestLangley's solution above, I found out that spotlight.target and spotlight itself can be added as children to the same object, whether that is the camera or another object, like a car or a gun. Then they are positioned relative to the parent object, so that there is no need to keep copying the position from one object to another.
And now the gun will, by default, follow the camera, and the spotlight will light up along the gun. If the gun is for some reason rotated (deflecting a bullet or crawling on the ground or whatever), the spotlight will rotate too. THREE is a nice piece of software. :-)
If you attach the spotlight to the camera and point it in the same direction as the camera and don't position it away from the center, then the light cone will look constantly circular. For many applications it looks cooler and more realistic that it changes shape dynamically in the projection. A small offset is all it takes (such as in my example above, though I haven't tested that one).
Additionally it appears to be ignoring the settings of "Spotlight" set within the preferences. Example: I have "Websites" & "Siri Suggestions" turned off, however these still appear in the search results of spotlight.
I'm having problems with spotlight too. In system preferences, the search field is not working, it doesn't filter as you type. I have the "Paste" app (clipboard manager) installed and since upgraded to Sonoma the search field doesn't work either. I'm testing other apps. Already re-index everything and still doesn't work.
I am having problems with Spotlight dependent applications including HoudahSpot and Hazel. Hazel is reporting errors related to not finding metadata for files, causing automated filing of files not to work. HoudahSpot searches fail. Rebooting corrects the problem briefly (hours) but then spotlight failures return.
Same issues with me. I'm also using Paste, Hazel and HoudaSpot. No issues with Hazel or Paste (yet) but HoudaSpot doesn't find anything. Even searching in one folder SpotLight doesn't seem to work. I've tried the following:
For me, after updating to Sonoma, Spotlight will not show Anything, except websites if you click the magnifying glass in the toolbar. If you spotlight search from the finder, it finds nothing at all. Sigh. Using a MacBook Pro 16 inch 2019. Tried rebuilding from Sys Pref and Terminal.
Had the same issue. I am happy to mention this in the past tense. After multiple troubleshooting, I got it working.The problem I had was that the spotlight will not list anything except 'search in web'. The finder items, applications, suggestions, everything was missing. Apart from that Apple Mail was unusable since the Smart folders and search were not working.I tried, "sudo mdutil -E /" "sudo mdutil -i off " and "sudo mdutil -i on /" and still it was not working.
Solution that worked for me: Tried the same mdutil commands displayed above, but I did it as another local super user who is also an admin. I'm logged in with the mobile admin account. In the terminal I did "su ". Then tried "sudo mdutil -E /" "sudo mdutil -i off " and "sudo mdutil -i on /"
I have the same problem. This appears when I installed MacOS Sonoma version 14.0 (23A344). The Spotlight and Search function on finder are working when I turn the computer on but after a while they don't work anymore. The same behavior with Outlook for Mac. When I restart the computer the same happens again. I tried to reindex via System Settings and Terminal but it doesn't fix the problem. It's very annoying to have to restart mi MacBook Air M1 every time I need to search for something. I remember when Mac OS Ventura was launched the same happened. Finally after one of the updates the problem was fixed. It seems that Apple launches new OS without verifying if all the functions are working well.Hope anyone can help me with this problem.
Spotlight isn't working for me at all. Everytime I try hitting command space-bar nothing happens. I tried removing it from the menu bar using control centre, then re-adding it and nothing changes. When I click on the search icon in the menu bar, nothing happens either. I tried force quiting the SystemUIServer via activity monitor and this hasn't done anything either. Any other suggestions are welcome.
Same issue as many folks here. Spotlight not working at all. Neither if I click on search icon from top menu bar. Has Apple acknowledged this? Any fix coming? Many of the things in this thread feel like bit of a hack. And the solutions people list are quite varied.
I have the same problem since updating to Sonoma. It must be an Active Directory issue, as I do not see this issue on my private computer with only one local account (apps and extensions installed are the same). There is a workaround I found that might work for others though...
When I unplug the network cable prior to booting up, spotlight, mail and settings work once the computer is running. Then plugging in the network cable does not cause the problem to reoccur until another reboot, at which point I have to unplug the network cable again.
Still not working after the 14.1 update. The terminal commands are really cumbersome. I suppose there's probably a way to automate, or maybe I could just use the local account only, but I'm being stubborn. I want to see a fix!
I was able to fix this same issue by running this terminal command sudo mdimport -r /Applications. You do not have to be in a specific directory. I had also run the previously mentioned terminal commands but those did not work in my case. It was until I specifically referenced the application directory that spotlight was able to reindex and find my application queries.
MacBook Pro is managed by the university and they use Microsoft AD for login. After updating to Sonoma spotlight is fully broken. When I open it, it hangs for a few seconds before accepting input. Then another hang after 1 letter. I try to dismiss with ESC or click away and that hangs about 4 seconds too.
I would note here a second issue, unrelated but fixed by updating OS. My iCloud Keychain was empty just before the Sonoma update. That has to do with the default login keychain having a different password than my network MS AD managed password. The setting to update the password is disabled, I assume by our IT dept. Good news is that after updating to Sonoma and rebooting the system caught the mismatch and offered to allow me to update the login keychain password or delete it; I updated the password and now iCloud Keychain works as before.
Yep. Same here. I even reinstalled MacOS from ground.One week later, the same issues...After rebuilding the spotlight index it seems to works for some time... but sometimes only minutes. At first it doesnt find files in Dropbox, then no programs, then after a while even Finder doesnt find files I can see in front of me and that are in the same folder Im searching.I tried...
Vassar, with an average undergraduate population of 2424, is small enough for students to recognize the faces they see around campus. However, even in an institution as small as Vassar, it is impossible for students to know every professor by name. By casting a spotlight on some of the teaching staff, The Miscellany News hopes to make students feel more connected to the faculty and more aware of some of the classes offered at Vassar.
Zlotnick: No, I was supposed to go to law school. I was an argumentative teenager, so everyone told me I would be a great lawyer. I applied to law school as a senior in college and deferred my admission for a year while I figured out another life plan.
Zlotnick: I double majored in English and History as an undergraduate, and my research has always been interdisciplinary. Victorianists on the whole tend to be interdisciplinary because 19th-century British literature, particularly the novel, directly engages with the tectonic social and technological changes that were occurring during the period.

I normally write about specific aspects of the solutions that I support, but I thought I'd try something a little different today. For those of you that don't know, I'm a sales engineer supporting Quest's Database Performance Monitoring portfolio. For people concerned about SQL Server performance, there are two similar solutions within this portfolio: Spotlight On SQL Server Enterprise and Foglight. When I speak to people, there is often confusion as to which solution is the best one for them. I must warn you, I am not going to highlight every difference between these solutions. I'm going to tell you a story about a conversation I had with a customer who was already familiar with our Spotlight on SQL Server Enterprise solution.
As I mentioned, this customer was an experienced user of Spotlight On SQL Server Enterprise. In his current role, he was using DMV queries to gather data about the performance of his SQL Server instances. While this provided him a lot of data, it wasn't necessarily providing him a lot of information. In fact, he admitted that he couldn't answer the question "what happened?". In addition to this challenge, he is often the person that is contacted by users of the system stating "it's slow". I suspect you've heard these or similar questions and statements. It was a recurring theme during our conversations.
Because of his experience with Spotlight On SQL Server Enterprise, this customer invited us to present the solution to his organization. He invited his CTO and a few other people to the conversation. I found it interesting that the other people are not directly responsible for the performance of the SQL Server instances, but they are frequently contacted when things are "slow". The additional attendees are interested in understanding what is happening and are very interested in making things better. In other words, these folks are what I like to call "agents of change".
