If you are searching a shared index (shared from FoxTrot Pro from another Mac, or from FoxTrot Server), then maybe "File Sharing Integration" is not correctly configured, in the "Sharing" pane of the sharing FoxTrot Pro / Server.
Otherwise, one possibility in your situation is that, when you moved your data from your previous Mac, you did not move them to the same location, for example if your home folder name has changed, or if your files where on an external disk or secondary partition whose name has changed etc. In this case, indexed folders that can no longer be found should appear in gray in the "Indexed Data" pane; remove them and add the folders from the new location.

"With FoxTrot I find files I do not find with Spotlight.
With FoxTrot I do not get swamped with 2000 found files in one bunch,
under "Documents" and now I have to scroll through a long list - with
FoxTrot I can quickly and easy narrow my search.
With FoxTrot with one click I can see a preview with the search term
highlighted.
One of the very important reasons I like FoxTrot is that it's results
seem so much more appropriate.
And searches in FoxTrot returns are almost instantly - way way faster
than in Spotlight"
