In Terminal:

	mdimport -f /usr/local/gwTeX

This has to be redone every time gwTeX is modified. Other useful  
commands are

	mdimport -L

which returns a list of all installed importers (including those  
hidden inside application bundles),

	mdimport -r /Applications/TeX/TeXShop.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight/ 
TeX.mdimporter

which reimports metadata for all files to which TeXShop's TeX  
SpotLight importer applies, and

	mdutil -E "Macintosh HD"

which rebuilds entirely the SpotLight database for a given volume  
(here Macintosh HD). See the man page for mdimport and for the other  
utilities mdutil, mdfind, mdls and mdcheckschema mentioned there.

Herb Schulz mentioned a SpotLight Indexer tool providing a GUI for  
all SpotLight-related tasks. I haven't tried it, but from Herb's  
description it seems quite nice.
