So I could just distribute the app (with included plugins), but a post-flight script would be necessary to index all already existing files with the Spotlight plugin. Which would require user interaction or an installer, so I'm back at my problem: installer or (more or less) complicated  installation instructions.

 Huh? What gave you the idea you need to do anything to get files re-indesed? Last I checked, the OS automatically rebuilds its index when it sees there's a new plugin. You may have to make sure the plugin has a different version number, and maybe delete your product or do a touch on the plugins' package folders to make sure it has a different change date than the old one, but it should Just Work(tm).
