kernel: Sandbox: AssetCacheLocato(400) deny(1) mach-lookup AssetCacheLocatorService: LaunchServices: disconnect event received for service

Upon looking in the console, I notice these messages when searching for lsd: 9:36:02.000 a.m. Someone else said that it could be Launch Services Daemon, but I thought that process was launchd.

If you don’t ever use the search feature or just don’t like it, you can also disable Spotlight and all of its indexing.I looked in iStat Menus and noticed that a process named lsd was consuming 99% of my CPU (Out of 400% for 4 cores). If Spotlight isn’t working, you can check out these Spotlight troubleshooting tips which will get you situated again.

How long it takes to update the Spotlight index depends on a few variables, but mostly the size of your hard drive, the amount of data being indexed, major changes to the filesystem, and the time since last indexing. How long does mds & Spotlight take to finish indexing? Usually you will see the mds process in conjunction with mdworker, which is another part of Spotlight and it’s indexing engine. You can then click on the Spotlight icon and you’ll see your main hard drive being indexed, with a progress bar and estimated time until completion: An easy way to identify that mds and Spotlight is indexing is to look at the Spotlight icon in the upper right corner of your menubar, when Spotlight is indexing the magnifying glass will have a dot in the center like so:
