Hey Dani,

I checked the two hidden system settings utilities that I use. In 10.8 and 10.10, Onyx seems to be the only one which can now adjust the spotlight setting, 'to turn on local indexing.' Here is the link for you to investigate:
"""
OnyX is a multifunctional utility for OS X. It allows you to verify the startup disk and the structure of its System files, to run miscellaneous tasks of system maintenance, to configure the hidden parameters of the Finder, Dock, Spotlight, and of some of Apple's own applications, to delete caches, to remove a certain number of files and folders that may become cumbersome, and more.

FYI, tinkertool is the other utility that I use a lot.
