Yeah, I’ve been meaning to open an issue for that. It should be using the Cocoa 
stuff instead of calling mdfind. It looks (from the source) like that was 
attempted and abandoned, but I’m sure that would be more reliable.

I thought there was. My one and only Spotlight source has used onlyin for 
years, but now that I look closer, it doesn’t seem to do anything. I’m not sure 
why. I think the plug-in just blindly passes the query to the command.
