1. No, FoxTrot never indexed the full path
2. I don't think indexing the full path is useful in most circumstances; and I think it would have serious drawbacks. Especially in regard to the home folder: in a typical situation, all indexed files are inside the home folder; and the home folder name is the name of the user. So, searching for the user name would find all files…
There will be an experimental and unsupported option in version 7.5 to index the relative path instead of the name of the parent folder (the relative path is the full path, stripped from the indexed folder path). To enable it, you will have to paste this command in Terminal.app:
defaults write com.ctmdev.FoxTrotShared UseRelativePathForParentFolder -bool YES
