Join Apple's ADC at <http://connect.apple.com/MemberSite> (it's free and
allows you to download developmental software), then use the bug reporter
at <https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb> to submit an
enhancement request. There are many shortcomings in Spotlight, but unless
users submit enhancement requests and bug reports, nothing gets fixed or
improved. The squeaky wheel does get oiled.
