From the moment of the first bootup, I decided that "SPOTLIGHT" was definitely not a feature of Tiger that I would use and love. I'm sure it has its fans, and I am not saying it is a useless feature, but I keep all of my files organized and don't usually have any problems at all finding anything.
I had been using commands (Terminal) to disable spotlight - and each time I did a Permissions Repair (routine maintenance scripts), that blue icon would be back to mock me.
"Spotless", a shareware app promising to disable Spotlight, left me with a red X in place of the blue magnifying glass (which I found to be irritating as well).
THANK you THANK YOU for this little gem - It was simple. It was fast... and I did not need to reboot to see Spotlight burn out.

I have been very appreciative of the various types of maintenance/customize softwares that are out there. I think they are all pretty good. I found this one, however, to be the most thorough and intuitive. Thank you for your time and efforts.
I was dancing around here when it successfully removed Spotlight, but after a restart it was back.
Some features didn't work the first time, such as the dock settings. When I did them again they stuck. The Safari setting gave me an error message and the working animated wheel keept spinning after that even though it had given up performing the task.
Using this program, you can sort of feel that you are on thin ice. I think a warning shoulkd be added to system repair tools that aren't yet ready for the latest OS release.
