EagleFiler searches for a file in a pool of files (using spotlight  
importers AFAIK). Skim searches for locations inside a PDF. So that's  
something completely different.

Yes, each note is a different item. Skim maintains a separate  
reference to all the notes it manage. These items are displayed in the  
note table, and you can filter these items in the table in various  
ways (the search field is one way, see the Wiki for more info). Each  
item knows where it's located in the PDF.
