Yes, I know how it works, I was more getting at how it links back to the original source from that meta-data; i.e. does it store the absolute path, use Carbon aliases, etc. And in any case, what other procedures does it follow in the event that the original data goes walkies - does it even notice when this happens? i.e. can you get bogus results for files that no longer exist?

The article says it all (emphasis mine):

"Every time a file is CREATED, SAVED, MOVED, COPIED, or DELETED, the file system automatically ensures that the file is properly indexed, cataloged, and ready for whatever search query might be issued—all in the background."
