Dan's Spotlight Bodger is a great boon for consumer users plagued with terminal-phobia. Just looking into Terminal can be intimidating. I feel sure that most Macintosh users never go near it. I used it only once, for the three commands. It took me a while to even get used to the idea. The Apple help line uses the three commands, and beyond that approach, they simply lead to an Archive & Install. Now, what is the next step? Get DSB into MacFixIt? Folks frequently go to the Apple support forums for this indexing problem; why not offer it there? Macworld should publicize it online and in the hard copy magazine.
