No, indeed. The "option-apple-spacebar" searches everything in
Spotlight's index (not the entire computer - directories such as /etc
are notably absent). In order for the O- Spotlight search to behave
as you wish you would need to tell Spotlight to index nothing but
your home directory; I am not sure this is possible.
