Leopard iCal & Spotlight problem
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but apologies if I've missed a thread.
Since upgrading, I am unable to search iCal properly. The built in iCal search can't locate some events by a key word that it could under Tiger. I've only spotted two instances so far. One is an all-day entry and one is a timed entry. Both are definitely there, and can be located by just navigating to them by day and date.
I then tried using the same words in Spotlight, and that doesn't find them either...
At first I thought something may have interrupted Spotlight when it was indexing the disk, so I forced it to index the disk again, but the problem persists...
It's possible there are other items in applications other than iCal that can't be found, but I haven't come across them yet...
Can anyone help?

Yep. I know one. I can find numbers inside of excel files. Like invoice numbers, money amounts, etc. I just type in 7593, for example, and spotlight can find that number in Excel.
However, it can't find numbers inside "Numbers," which really annoys me.
