That still leaves open the following hole:
What if you mount the drive on a Panther system (or something else
that's not Tiger), do some changes, maybe move a few files, then mount
it on a Tiger system again? Does it automatically find the changes and
update the index for them?

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."
