Finding other apps' paths - deterministically!

The methods for finding applications,
-[NSWorkspace fullPathForApplication:]
-[NSWorkspace absolutePathForAppBundleWithIdentifier:]
AppleScript's 'path to application'
all return only ONE result. If there is more than installation of the
application, which often happens out here in real life, the above
methods will often pick different installations, and even if you run
the same methods several minutes apart I sometimes get different
answers.
Is there any way to make these methods behave deterministically? If
not, what's a better way? Do I have to do a Spotlight search? I know
that unix 'find' would be way too slow.
Thanks,
Jerry Krinock
