Can Foxtrot Engineering please confirm the problem is that Foxtrot is relying on Spotlight to create index? My understanding with Foxtrot is that it uses its own indexer, which is why its search results are often better than Spotlight (though it does use Spotlight to index certain metadata). But in the case of my html files, I've even specifically requested that Foxtrot use the Gumbo indexer, so that's not dependent on Spotlight.

Can Foxtrot Engineering please chime in and let me know what's their assessment of this issue as well? Thanks.
