Spotlight leaves out many directories, such as ~/Library, which I do need to search.

How about putting an NSTask wrapper around 'locate'? I believe it indexes everything. Of course, you'd have to make sure your index is up to date. It might not be practical to ask users to run locate.updatedb, but if it's for your own use, it might work.
