I have an application that runs on OS X. I need to be able to tell Spotlight to exclude my application's directory from indexing. Is there a way to achieve this from the command line? The only examples I see involve excluding an entire volume via the command line.

I know that Spotlight stores a file called _exclusions.plist in the /.Spotlight-V100/ directory. Is there a good class that allows reading and writing of Apple .plist files? I can put the excluded folder's information in this file, but you need root permissions to even read the file in the first place.

Hi Chris,

I just went through this with Apple for a non-RB project. Spotlight is volume-oriented at this point. May be a good idea to submit a feature request to Apple.
