A Joke? - Version: 2.7, 9/14/2009 03:17PM PST

"Programmer" says this is as-is product and then if you look at the code it says:

#!/bin/sh
# By reading this file you have broken the terms of the license agreement. This will be noted.

Rather bizarre. A joke? It makes me think that he is hiding something malicious in the code.

Does not index servers - Version: 2.5, 4/20/2006 10:35AM PST

It would be helpful if a future update allowed the user to select mounted volumes to index. In my case, I am connected to several servers, and I still have to use the command line to force Spotlight to index those.
