...some of us aren't planning to upgrade to Intel machines for a LONG time. Was this ever backwards-compatible?

An "importer" like this occurred to me as soon as Apple said that Spotlight would be extensible, but I didn't know if it was possible, or how hard it would be to create, so I'm glad someone has done it.
This opens up a world of new possibilities for searching. Particularly if my one feature request is implemented: registering the Google Importer search attribute with Spotlight, so that it would be possible to create a Smart Folder (via File > Find, then choosing Other from the Kind pop-up to select its search attribute type). The latest Google search updates as a Smart Folder, sitting on your desktop.
Just imagine getting results from Google Images, just as you do with your local images - slideshow and previews and all. Or get results from your web-based Gmail account, just like your Mail or Entourage results.
I wonder how soon until Google comes up with their own official version (or sanctions this one), and Yahoo and other search engines jump on board. If nothing else, it could finally be the end of Sherlock (barely breathing as it is).

5 stars for sure. But the logout button does not log you out. You must do it yourself manually.
