Here's one approach to making items in your home Library folder searchable in Spotlight.
Spotlight searches exclude items that exist in the user's home Library folder (now hidden by default). There are some items that normally reside in the home Library folder that I want to be available for my Spotlight searches. Rather than trying to find a hack to defeat the system's exclusion of the home Library folder for Spotlight, I use a method that doesn't require crossing the boundaries of what the OS permits users to do.
I simply select folders, the contents of which I would like to appear in Spotlight searches, such as Scripts and Favorites, move them up a level to the home folder, then create a symbolic link to the moved item to serve as a substitute for it in its original location. I'm including source for an AppleScript droplet that I use to automate this process. If your Library folder is already open (one way to open it is to hold down the Option key then select it from the Go menu in the Finder), just drop one or more of its folders onto the droplet. If you double-click the droplet created from the AppleScript, it will open your Library folder so that you can drop one or more folders into the ensuing dialog box.
on open the_items my up_one_leave_link(the_items) end open on up_one_leave_link(the_items) display dialog "This will move dropped folders up one directory and substitute symbolic links that point to their new location. Is that what you want to do?" repeat with the_item in the_items set the_item to the_item as alias tell application "Finder" set sost to ((container of folder ¬ (the_item as string)) as alias) as string set sost_Parent to (container of folder ¬ (sost as alias)) end tell set sost to POSIX path of sost set sost_Parent to POSIX path of (sost_Parent as string) set this_filepath to (the_item as string) if last character of this_filepath is ":" then tell me to set it_is_a_folder to true else set it_is_a_folder to false end if set thesourcename to (name of (info for the_item)) set the_source_file to POSIX path of this_filepath set pos_filepath to sost if it_is_a_folder then try set my_command to "mv" & ¬ space & (quoted form of the_source_file) ¬ & space & (quoted form of sost_Parent) set my_command to my_command & ¬ ";ln -s" & space & (quoted form of sost_Parent) ¬ & (quoted form of thesourcename) & space & (quoted form of sost) do shell script my_command on error onerr activate display dialog onerr end try else display dialog "Folders only, please!" end if end repeat end up_one_leave_link on run display dialog "This will move selected folders up one directory and substitute symbolic links that point to their new location. Is that what you want to do?" do shell script "open ~/Library" do shell script "sleep 1" activate set the_items to ((choose folder) as list) up_one_leave_link(the_items) end run
