does Xcode require spotlight to do indexing?
It depends on what you mean, but the answer to you question is
probably no. Xcode provides a Spotlight source code importer that
indexes your source files and allows you to query them from Spotlight.
The data generated from this importer is also used to back the
"Symbol" search type in the batch find panel in Xcode.
To put it another way, what you would usually consider as "indexing"
in the Xcode IDE proper is not done by Spotlight, but rather by Xcode
itself. If you disable Spotlight indexing for the volume that contains
your source code Xcode will still index the source code referenced by
your projects, and all functionality in Xcode that depends on the
index will still work. The only thing that will not work is the Symbol
search from the batch find panel.
