Re: Spotlight Indexing
Just to backstep a bit, I'm curious, now that Spotlight has had a
chance to fully index your files, are the search results more complete?
If you're saving email files, and they are mostly plain text,
Spotlight might do just fine without indexing and indexing would be
pretty quick. However if your files have lots of attachments that
include various file formats (Word, Excel, Quark, PDFs) then Spotlight
will be pretty helpless until everything is indexed.

I've been experimenting this morning. I created a 4.7 GB
sparsebundle and filled it with more than 830 MB of email files. I
tried to do a Spotlight search on this disk, but, as expected, found
nothing because the disk is not indexed.
In terminal, the command
mdutil -i volumepath
enables indexing and I can now search and find within the disk.
I was able to search immediately after enabling indexing. There was
no wait while indexing was completed. I am suspicious. Comments
about Spotlight I have read in the past indicate that indexing may
take some time.
Perhaps a Spotlight expert can explain more about what is happening
here.
