To the best of my knowledge I've disabled Spotlight with

Code:
sudo mdutil -a -i off

and

sudo rm -fr /.Spotlight-V100

but a search term entered in its icon's drop-down still yields file-name, not content, results.

After doing some research, I'm guessing that even though Spotlight has no index to search it is still searching metadata.

Is that correct (on a rudimentary level, anyhow)?

Thanks.
