Snow Leopard's Spotlight results won't show google docs until the whole document name is entered

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am using precipitate 1.0.6 for searching google docs.

On Mac OS 10.5, everything works as expected, but on Mac OS 10.6, the result is 
weird:

1. I Start typing in the document name. At this point I might see the google 
doc in the list for a split second, but it will disappear

2. I continue typing the document name. Eventually spotlight starts returning 
"no results found"

3. When I finish typing the whole document name, then the google doc shows up 
in the spotlight result.

In short: the document is indexed, but it beats the purpose of spotlight if you 
have to type the whole document name.

I can't reproduce this. More importantly, Precipitate has absolutely no control 
over how Spotlight indexes and tokenizes the title (or any other field); each 
entry is just a string. And by the time the search actually happens, the 
importer isn't even in the loop at all, so there's nothing that it could be 
doing to make a result vanish while you are typing.

This sounds like a local issue with your Spotlight database.

In deed it must have been a Spotlight database issue; a reboot and a rebuild of 
the index solved it.

Sorry for making you loose time!
