I am disappointed in Apple, Tiger is not worthy of OS X stature yet

Have you tried forcing a reindex of your HD?
Yea painful, but it might fix your spotlight.

Been there, done that, ripped up the t-shirt. Weirdness persists. I'm not having a good Tiger experience. I just don't trust my computer as it is. If the Finder can't find, what else is going on???

Runs perfectly smooth & stable!

Running Tiger on 20 Macs -> every type from g3 iMacs up to g5 iMac and Powermacs, and g4s. NOT SINGLE PROBLEM [so far]

Yes, but just try launching apps with spotlight (you no longer have to care where on your home folder you downloaded anything) and tell me you wanna go back to the just finder in Panther.

Surprisingly, Spotlight can fail for me trying to do even this. Tried to launch GraphicConverter by typing 'graphicc' in Spotlight and it failed to find it, even through there are three copies (different versions) in my Applications folder. A few minutes later, no problem. It's a bit worrying.
