By default, Apple's new "Spotlight" feature in Mac O.S. X v.10.4 has been a saving grace for local searches. One limitation that ails this software is the fact that it will not index hidden directories; some th at Apple deem off limits.
SpotlightIndexer will allow the user to easily index folders that may not currently be searched by Spotlight.
