Thank you for the information. Search Kit does allow indexing
arbitrary pieces of data that don't have to correspond to actual
files, and since Spotlight is built on top of Search Kit I thought
there would be some way to do the same thing.
Spotlight does use SearchKit for full-text indexing of documents, but
not for other metadata properties (filenames, ID3 tags, PDF
authorship, image dimensions, and whatever other custom properties an
importer might set.) So making Spotlight work on records within files
would require a lot of architectural changes.
It's definitely a known issue, and the Spotlight people are aware of
its importance. I hope it'll show up in the future.
