The double quote thing does not seem to have anything to do with WolframNotebookIndexer. Test by creating a few text strings in a text editor and and you get similar results. Just omitting the quotes as suggested below works for me. But spotlight, on my machine at least, does not search the Mathematica Help notebooks. I assume it has not indexed them, possibly because they are stored somewhere (I'm guessing here) inside the Mathematica "package". Is there any way to bring them to spotlight's attention?
