Also, it seems to not find helper applications which are inside other applications' packages.

Is there any reason why you couldn't just search for the main application which contains the helper application inside its bundle and then just go from there to find the helper?

OK, do a programmatic Spotlight search for the main application, get the path and tack on /Contents/Resources/MyHelper.app. I hadn't thought about that but, yes, it that would overcome the package problem, Charles.

However it still wouldn't work for users who've turned off Spotlight indexing or excluded stuff in their Spotlight prefs. So I'm happy with my Carbon File Manager search, although admittedly not happy with the several days I spent getting the stupid thing working.
