Hello again,
No, both settings do NOT perform the same action. What you set in FoxTrot only conditions what you exclude in FoxTrot Indexing; what you exclude in Spotlight conditions what is excluded from Spotlight indexing.
To simplify things for you, as your main volume seems to have Spotlight indexing disabled, I suggest you disable it for your other volume as well, and forget about Spotlight's exclusion setting - this way you can focus on FoxTrot's settings exclusively. Again, we do NOT use Spotlight to perform our searches, FoxTrot is based on its own technology for this.
Regards,
