So you're saying that because you got too many results *without* Spotlight
automatically searching the 100,000 files in the system/Unix directories,
why not search those files, as well? ;-)

*This* is in my opinion the biggest problem with Spotlight right now -- no
easy way to do booleans. The code you need to use in the Spotlight bar to do
a boolean search is insane ;-)s
