Ahh fudge!
I forgot that SIP was extended to protect the V100 directory in Mojave.
Have to disable System Integrity Protection or boot to an external HD to wipe it. (Can enable SIP again afterwards.)

Thing about "resetting" Spotlight indexes through other means like the Privacy tab of the Spotlight pref's window or ticking the box in Onyx is that you are only deleting cells in tables and rebuilding the tables. You're not deleting the database and supporting files themselves so it's not a complete reset. If the problem is just that your Spotlight search results are incomplete, an ordinary rebuild is a fairly reliable fix. If the Spotlight process/daemon seems to be misbehaving, nuke the V100 folder.
Anyway, that's my approach.
Please let us know if the rebuild fixed the problem.
