It's a nice idea, but Finder uses Spotlight for all of its searching, so it has
a single search language to deal with. BibDesk uses Search Kit indexes for the
toolbar search field, and something completely different for smart groups.
There's no possibility of translation between the two.

There are many sound reasons for not doing this, and if you are interested in
them, search the archives. There has been lots of discussion of nested groups
on this list and the developers list, and it's annoying to repeat it every time
someone thinks this is a great new idea.
