Your correct, about Spotlight (at least to the best of my knowledge).
And your right again with your suggestion for the Application to handle this problem instead of the plug-in.
A simple fix (for Apple <wink> <wink>) would be to add a Folder Action Script that runs the needed command when a Spotlight plug-in is added to the Spotlight plug-ins folder.
Also on that note a simple Apple Script could work as the installer for a Spotlight plug-in; that way the user doesn't have to interact more than double clicking the script. Just a thought.



Spotlight importers can reside within the application's bundle, so this isn't going to help. Especially for drag and drop installs.
