It has never been passed for searches on author/title; just any field or file content. Due to other user complaints, we now pass it only for file content searches. Most complaints are really about the Preview problem; its zoom behavior when you open a file as a result of a Spotlight search just sucks. See here <http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051114175158162> for disabling that. Or use Skim. >I wonder, does anyone actually use this feature? If so, how? Yes, I use it.
