Functionality wise, I'm fine with the curent spotlight functionality. I've just noticed the newer projects like QSB use spotlight for their index. I'm assuming this overall reduces resources since QSB doesn't have to maintain indexes and can just rely on spotlight. My understanding is that QS will use spotlight to gather the data if you use the plugin and set up sources, but it still has to manage it's own index, thus providing a place where spotlight would add some efficiency. Of course, I'm talking a little out of my league and guessing how the software really works, so this could be a non-issue.
