there are some very interesting notes on some blogs about spotlight and its future . pretty amazing stuff to read ...

eg

"Example: You're doing a multi-party teleconference. A recording is made of that teleconference (each angle), and separate audio tracks are recorded for each participant. In real time, your computer transcribes each voice track and stores it as ancillary content on the recording, content that Spotlight indexes for you. At any time, you can type "meeting in San Jose" into Spotlight, and it'll take you right to the angle and track on which your co-worker Laurent talked about next week's meeting in San Jose."

That's very possible if a program was made for it. Spotlight contains an extremely extensible SearchKit API. There's not much of a limit on what Spotlight can do.

Yep, its sweet stuff.
