    (I don't know why.) Once you turn-off indexing and remove the
index files,
    the Saved Search stops returning results.


I think turning indexing off erases the index; that is,

mdutil -i off /path/to/volume has the same effect as

mdutil -E /path/to/volume,

except that the latter leaves indexing enabled.

Since a Saved Search is really just a saved query, not a saved list of results, when there's no index there's no data available to be queried and hence no results are returned.
