Spotlight knows which places to NOT index because they're written on a PList, which means the list can be edited - allowing them to be Spotlighted.

I'm not going to say where the PList is, because I don't want people to go and start messing about with their system, if they're not 100% certain they know what they're doing.

I know where the privacy exclusions end up, but not where the factory excluded folders are stored. Where?

Besides, if you use a tool like PropertyList Editor, then it's pretty difficult to screw up your plist files. And why keep something secret, like that?

It's nobody's job to protect people from themselves (unless they are so young or mentally retarded that they require a legal guardian), the only job that anyone might have (read: police) is to protect people from other people.
