While Spotlight not allow offline searches and offline image preview browsing, disk cataloggers are not obsolete or useless on MacOSX and as you can read here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/spotlight.html , MacOSX.5 "Leopard" spotlight still not provide this kind of features.

$25 license is too high with no dev commitment to support. Leopard Spotlight could make FF obsolete. Or am I missing something???
