Here is the explanation: it's a bug in FoxTrot Personal. "Rebuild" should erase and rebuild the index, but it fails to start indexing; you currently need to do "Update index entirely" after "rebuild" to start indexing. "Update index entirely" does not re-index unmodified files, but it is named "entirely" to differentiate this from "Update folder in index" which can be used to update a single folder tree inside the whole index.

Thanks for the report, we will fix this!
