Spotlight not indexing after Sierra upgrade

 Looks like this helped me:

1. first I removed all selections under System Preferences/ Spotlight/ search results
2. restart
3. use terminal:
   sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
   wait 20s
   sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
   sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/*
   you should get a message indicating that indexing is enabled.

mac OS Sierra remove parental control using terminal

 for some reason I had parental control enabled on network user with local admin rights.

it wasn’t possible to remove them using system preferences.

to remove it I used terminal command:

sudo dscl . -mcxdelete /Users/username
sudo rm -rf /Library/Managed\ Preferences/username
