Are you using POP3 to get your gmail in Mail.app?

Like "glial" said, set up your gmail account in Mail.app. It's an awesome application. Spotlight will index that for sure, plus it's 10x better than managing your mail through a browser. Below is the link to setting up your Gmail account in Mail:

Configuring your email client: Apple Mail
