Also, I'm not sure how XP behaves, but in Vista/Windows 7 if you
have indexing turned on and search new files, it will silently not
return any results, instead of warning you that there is new
unindexed content.

This is true in XP as well if you have "Windows Desktop Search" (or
something similar) installed. I wish I could disable *that*.

I'm using WinGrep (http://www.wingrep.com/) and/or Copernic Desktop Search
(http://www.copernic.com/en/products/desktop-search/index.html) for local
searching, and have turned off all Windows indexing. Copernic is awfully
fast (but it creates huge indexes), while WinGrep is better (IMO) for source
code searches. The only drawback in the free version of Copernic is that it
only indexes my computer, not the local network, but I can live with that...
