How long have you waited since checking the box? It can take some to re-index. Or you may need to force a re-indexing. You can do this in terminal by deleting the index and rebuilding it. This may take a while. Go to Terminal in Utilities folder and cut/paste this into the command line:

sudo mdutil -E /

  • I actually never unchecked that option. Still, I did rebuild the index (waited for the indexing to finish) but the problem is still there. Commented Aug 20, 2015 at 14:17
