I installed Tiger last night on my G4 1.5GHz Powerbook  (Archive and  
Install) and have been migrating over a few items from my Previous  
System Folder this afternoon.

As a test, I used spotlight to locate some of those original files  
and get this - they don't show up in the search results?!   Is the  
Previous System folder (and it's sub directories) not being indexed  
by Spotlight?

Personally, when using the Spotlight window (Option+Command+Space  
bar) I would like to see a direct path when clicking on a file  
instead of having to click the "i" button.  Similar to what you get  
when you run a spotlight search in a Finder window.
