I looked through the release notes for 10.4.1, but couldn't see any evidence that they fixed this. I actually upgraded to 10.4 over the weekend, I couldn't wait any longer! I just shut off the "auto open safe files" pref. Yes, Spotlight is great. At work on my PC I use Google Desktop Search, so I'm starting to get used to the ability to be able to find anything anywhere instantly. One "problem" with Spotlight: once I opened Mail, and it got a chance to index all my old mail, my search results became clogged with SPAM! It's like Altavista all over again! I have been just letting spam mail pile up in a folder there, figuring that one day I'd go through them and make sure there is nothing I want before trashing them for good. Now I really need to clean house. Really? I looked through the release notes for 10.4.1, but couldn’t see any evidence that they fixed this.

Who needs directories and meaningful filenames any more, just throw everything in a big pile and let spotlight sort it out. Really. All fixed in 10.4.1, now upgrade already, spotlight is cool.
