There are were some issues with the OS actually finding the spotlight importers that applications export in the early releases of Tiger, and indeed, it sounds like there still are!
It could be that the point 'auto-updates' that you have performed (given that you are on 10.4.2) have made the system 'forget' about the Revolution Spotlight Importer. In order to find out whether this is the case, go to the shell and type: mdimport -L This will dump a list of all known importers - if Revolution is not mentioned anywhere in this list then it is probably best to copy the importer from within the Revolution application bundle into the global '/Library/Spotlight' folder. The Revolution Spotlight importer can be found inside Revolution.app in Library/Spotlight - it's called 'Revolution.mdimporter'. Of course, the latter step shouldn't be necessary as the system is meant to 'automatically' pick them up... Warmest Regards, Mark.
