FoxTrot has a predefined location for Evernote, but it is outdated, as Evernote now stores its data elsewhere. So, this predefined location either do not show at all, or does not contain your current Evernote data.

To index Evernote 7, add this location to the "custom locations" tab of the "manage indices" window: {home folder}/Library/CoreData/com.evernote.Evernote.

However, it does not seem that Evernote has a full support of Spotlight, and as FoxTrot uses the Spotlight importers to index third party applications data, it seems you will only be able to search in notes titles, and not in the contents of the notes. Also, clicking on a found Evernote note will only display its icon; option-click on it to see the text that has been indexed (i.e. the note title).

"Wow, this is an amazing application. I have been looking for a fast
local search tool that provides live previews and FoxTrot does the
trick. I often have to search thousands of pages of developer references
to find answers and this is the only search program I have found that is
worth keeping open on my desktop."
