How to Write a Spotlight Plugin

Here's a good and in-depth tutorial from Matthew Russell at MacDevCenter.com on creating Spotlight plugins. Matthew walks through creating a plugin for Spotlight from scratch that indexes the content database of the Stickies application. He starts with the somewhat arbitrary steps required to give the Stickies database an extension as required by Spotlight, but quickly moves on to the step-by-step instructions using XCode that get the job done. A must-read if you find yourself doing any Spotlight plugin development.
