Spotlight is only meant to store information that a user can search
on and that's usable to a user. It should not store binary data or
application specific data such as preferences.

1) Can I search my application's preferences (user defaults) with a
Spotlight Importerand how would I do this? Preferences and Core Data
can hold lots of
informationthat I would like to search with Spotlight.
2) Is it possible to Spotlight databases in an efficient manner and return
databaserecords? Since a database is a single file, Spotlighting a
database and
getting thename of your database back doesn't seem useful. I'm told
that Spotlight
can returnan individual record but the code is somewhat fancy.
In both cases, I'm assuming the NSDocumentController understands the data
store'smodel and mediates between the Importer and the datastore in
some way, but
notsure how to approach this.
... and apologies if any of this is naive...
