Aquí hay una nota de Macintouch en inglés.

Spotlight is a file search utility. While it can report about files that contain your query, Spotlight can only provide fine-grained results (such as individual email messages) if that data is stored in many separate, individual files.
What this means is that some of your data may be functionally unavailable via Spotlight. For example, Microsoft Entourage stores all of its mail in a single file, so Spotlight cannot search for individual email messages in Entourage. Eudora suffers similarly.
Nor can FileMaker databases be searched; any storage system that aggregates more than one piece of data into a single file simply cannot be "Spotlit" in any useful fashion.
Spotlight gives the appearance of searching through your Address Book, iPhoto library, and Apple Mail mailboxes, but this is possible only because Apple programmers have rewritten their software to store each data object in a single file.
Address Book is an informative example. It stores addresses in a single file, but also creates a host of additional files, one per contact, and stores these in your ~/Library folder. Spotlight searches these files, not the true Address Book database. When you click on one of these search results, Address Book looks at the file it has been handed, then shows you the corresponding "real" entry. It's a hack, but it works.
