    Hm. I'm assuming I'd have to build the binary myself to get it to work properly? Or can the other files with hardcoded paths in the binary be made available too.. not all that savvy here.

    ./mdfind2

    So, and what is about an XML content importer plugin to Spotlight?

    It will be useful when we could access XML tags and attributes in content of the file directly in search query and results!

    <name>John</name>
    <birthDay>09/10/1971</birthDay>

    Search query should be "... birthDay == 09/10/1971", and result like an XML node tree: kMDItemFSXMLTag.name=John
    kMDItemFSXMLTag.birthDay=09/10/1971
