Well, a user can accidentally or intentionally put a file in a place where
Spotlight is blind (either because it is hard-wired not to look there, or
because it is one of the places designated in the user's Spotlight Privacy
prefs), and then you are SOL. Whereas, if a file is moving around the same
hard drive, an alias (once formed) always works. m.
