Spotlight Plugins don't immediately work?

I've released a plugin for my app, iFlash, that allows Spotlight to 
search within iFlash's document files. I noticed that the file 
contents are not indexed until I manually run the mdimport command 
(or until the document is re-saved).

Will the files eventually get re-indexed on users' Macs, or should I 
run the mdimport command directly within iFlash?

Thanks!
