I presume you mean you'll be using document bundles?

Why not have your mdimporter for the main control file also open your supporting files and scrape them for metadata / content? This is effectively what you're going to be doing when you use bundles anyway. All you have to do is *not* write an mdimporter for your supporting files, and only the main project file will ever appear in the Spotlight search results.

Best wishes,
