It seems to me that i have arather unique problem with spotlight. like for other people, it doesn't work. so i had a look around on the net and first found the help doc from apple on how to get spotlight to reindex a drive, just drop it in the privacy tab and then remove it. but it didn't show up (and i do know it can take some time for it to appear there so i waited quite some time) but sadly it never showed up. so i looked some more and found out about the command line tools like
