*sigh* I miss being arrested.
Thanks James, when I used to index the share point / server under
10.3 I guess it wasnt actually indexing, just trying to. 'Would
explain why it didn't seem to reveal files very quickly or accurately
afterwards.
I wonder what it was actually doing behind the scenes when I hit the
'index now' button ... Hmm.

Perhaps this is to prevent your systems administrator from having you
arrested.
For performance and administration reasons, clients should not index
file servers. If an index is required, it would be preferable to
have it
generated on the file server (which is the only way to have a real-
time
index anyway). However, I'm sure that doing this for a cross-platform,
multi-user system is a complex issue because each client needs to get
their own "view" according to their access permissions. It would be
interesting if Mac OS X Server makes any attempt at this. I realise
that
there may be circumstances where it would be reasonable for clients to
do their own non real-time indexing of a file server, but this
would be
a matter of negotiation on a case-by-case basis. Other than that,
perhaps non-HFS+ volumes are not supported for Spotlight indexing?
