Spotlight issues

I have been having issues with Spotlight on Yosemite not working after a while. I have used the following unload and load Spotlight and that seems to fix it.

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
