Possible answer: you haven't told the finder what languages to index.

You gotta have at least one selected to build a contents index.

(But some people have no languages selected because they find the
index-updating to be too disk and processor intensive. Of course, this
won't apply if you pick the right time - for you - to let the finder 
update
its index.)
