i don't really like it, but can spotlight index external drives automatically and cache the directory so that i cn do a search for an item located elsewhere and still see it's location? or do I have to reinstall disktracker?
 
Sure, it does a nice job too.

I really don't understand the whining about Spotlight. I've got Easyfind and MoRU and they've got their uses but for me Spotlight is the fastest way to find stuff. I also use it a lot to launch apps I don't use often enough to give them a place in the Dock.

Command-Space, a few keystrokes and a second or so later I can launch the app.
 
And no, Spotlight is not a utility for searching for files on "offline" drives. In order to find something with Spotlight, the drive must be powered on and mounted.

You'll need some 3rd-party application to be able to do "offline" searches.
