PowerMail proposes to rebuild the search index when it detects that is
corrupted. If the search index has been completely deleted, or if it is
corrupted in a way that can't be detected at startup, you will have a
partial index, or an unusable index; you will have to rebuild it from
the First Aid dialog.

"When Google Desktop was released I immediately downloaded it. I was
hoping to find something better than FoxTrot.
What I found was that it didn't find many files that FoxTrot does
find, and that the indexing process was uncontrollable, and it brought
my Dual-Core MacBook Pro to its knees. The computer was almost unusable
while it was being indexed.
I understand that they have brought out a new version, but I have
deleted it from my disk (and have turned off Spotlight indexing in the
FoxTrot preference panel).
I don't often need an indexed search of my disk, but when I do, FoxTrot
is hands down the best."
