Thanks. I keep hoping someone from Apple's Spotlight team will respond to this thread and clear-up the remaining questions:

1. Exactly how is Spotlight using SearchKit, both for content indexing and in search.


Spotlight is using SearchKit but only for content indexing. Beyond that does it really matter ???


2. How kDMItemContent is populated if one has files whose UTIs match the types supported by the existing mdimporter objects.


kMDItemContent what key is this?? i assume you mean kMDItemContentType, basically Launch Services is asked for the UTI of the file in question.


Launch Services is the keeper of all UTI information, Spotlight simply caches the answer Launch Services provides.

Is that what you are looking for???
