I have a 15" Macbook Pro Early 2011 and OS X 10.9.2. Spotlight is starting to re-index process when I logged in. I want to know: is this a normal behaviour?

does it happen on every login? how long does the indexing take?– Kevin GrabherCommented Mar 30, 2014 at 23:35

The question is how long the re-indexing is running. If it's just a minute this is normal behavior but if it's running for 30 min something's messed up.– KevinCommented Apr 1, 2014 at 5:35

@KevinGrabher Yes, it doing on every login and index process is taking ~3 minute.– fatihturanCommented Apr 1, 2014 at 8:30

@Kovah It doesn't take 30 minute but index process is making OS X unusable.– fatihturanCommented Apr 1, 2014 at 8:32

Well this is not a normal behavior. Check the access rights of your system with the disk utility.– KevinCommented Apr 1, 2014 at 8:54

Yes, Mac OS X will often index the spotlight at startup. Depending on how many files are on your computer, this process will range from a few seconds to a few minutes (if your computer is terribly slow). I hope this helps!
