You are correct in that Spotlight does not search inside application bundles (which is where the help notebooks are stored) by default. You should be able to force Spotlight to import these notebooks using the 'mdimport' command with the '-f' flag in the terminal: mdimport -f /Applications/Mathematica\ 5.1.app/ -Rob
