filename of an image is or the title inside of the image is.
Given that you are generating the output yourself, I'd look into the
possibility of modifying the generation process. If you can encode
metadata into the PS files such that (say) Spotlight can find it, the
problems will become MUCH simpler.

P.S. PS files are text, so looking into them for interesting looking
strings might be worthwhile. Also note that PS files are easy
to edit (eg, by a Perl script), so adding the metadata after the
file is generated isn't out of the question.
