Thanks for the suggestion Paul. I tried this, but Terminal warned me about
the dangers of the sudo command, then wouldn't accept any text input for my
password. I don't know why that happened.

I also tried the shareware utility (Spotless) suggested by Michael Elliott.
It did the trick. Others should note that there are different versions of
this utility for Tiger and Leopard. I didn't investigate why that's the
case, but if you're trying to make Spotlight behave using this tool, you'll
need to make certain you obtain the correct version.
