You miss the most annoying feature of all. Spotlight is invariably
WRONG. I
fail to find folders or files which blantanly exist. The number of
times I
typed in the exact file/folder name and spotlight fails to find it
is mind
boggling. It has nothing to do with permissions because I check.
Sounds like the database files have got seriously corrupted somehow.
If you are happy in the terminal have a look at the two following
pages, which have some instructions and experiences with renewing the
database:

story=20050424201429961&query=spotlight>
<http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/8300945231/m/
963005047731>
Edit - an easier way - go to the privacy tab in the Spotlight
preference pane, drag all your partitions in, then remove them again.
Note that the rebuild may take several hours...
