Well, as they sayif it ain't broke...:-)

To be honest (and to go off the beaten path a bit), I'm not altogether
certain that I even *want* Tiger. Quicksilver is better than
Spotlight, even though I'm stuck at a version Blacktree codenamed
"Pariah" due to my "upgrade lag," and Konfabulator is just about the
same as Dashboard.

Nope, that's not it. I'm running Panther, which (as you know) has no
Spotlight to speak of.

To be honest (and to go off the beaten path a bit), I'm not altogether
certain that I even *want* Tiger. Quicksilver is better than
Spotlight, even though I'm stuck at a version Blacktree codenamed
"Pariah" due to my "upgrade lag," and Konfabulator is just about the

I know there's probably a lot of under-the-hood sorts of things (there
always are), but in terms of features I've got a couple of the best of
them already through third-party freeware apps.

P.S. I just remembered that Tiger Cache Cleaner will do this too

There is a little $8 program that will delete Spotlight indexes so  
they can be rebuilt (they can become corrupted if the machine  
crashes in the middle of indexing for example) or turn Spotlight  
completely off if deleting indexes doesn't help.
