    Indexing /Users/Shared with Spotlight

    Hi! Anyone know if there's a way to force Spotlight to index the contents of the /Users/Shared folder? I tried sudo mdutil -i on /Users/Shared but that didn't work. I also tried adding and removing the folder to the Spotlight Privacy exclusion list in System Settings. Didn't work either.

    No App Location Info on Search

    When I search for an app on my iPhone X using the search function it doesn't show the name of the folder the app is located in? I have lots of folders so this is rather annoying. It used to show the name on iOS 10, is this something that's missing from iOS 11?
