I've been there a lot of times, i dont see a solution, what i see is:

"Typically all you have to do to convert the Spotlight query into a predicate format string is make sure the predicate does not start with * (this is not supported by NSMetadataQuery when parsing a predicate)."

tough (kMDItemTextContent LIKE[cd] "FooBar") is not the same as ((* = "FooBar*"wcd)) || (kMDItemTextContent = "FooBar*"cd))

so no solution there...
