 From the Engine Change Log file:

> Spotlight Plugin
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>   The engine now comes with a Spotlight meta-data imported. At  
> present, the importer sets the following data for indexing:
>   Title - set to the title of the main stack
>   Substacks - the list of substacks in the file
>   Text Content - a concatenation of all scripts in the stack.
>
> Note: the importer ignores stacks that have their password set

Cheers,
Sarah
