Thank you for this!
I didn't use your code directly, but I followed what you did in the
BDSKSpotlightView source along with little bits from the other 2 and was
able to get something going. It's just proof of concept and plugging it into
my code right now, so I still have much work to do to get it working just
right for my needs. But this is exactly the sort of thing I needed.
Thank you for your help and for sharing this with me.
