CR and FT passed. approved and merged PR. Sample code:

   var searchItems = [];
   var itemAttr = Ti.App.iOS.createSearchableItemAttributeSet({
       itemContentType:"public.image",
       title:"Titanium Core Spotlight Tutorial",
       contentDescription:"Tech Example \nOn: " + String.formatDate(new Date(),"short"),
       keywords:["Mobile","Appcelerator","Titanium"]
   });
   
   var item = Ti.App.iOS.createSearchableItem({
       identifier:"my-id",
       domainIdentifier:"com.mydomain",
       attributeSet:itemAttr
   });
   searchItems.push(item);
   
   var indexer = Ti.App.iOS.createSearchableIndex();
   
   indexer.addToDefaultSearchableIndex(searchItems,function(e){
       if(e.success){
           alert("Press the home button and now search for your keywords");
       }else{
           alert("Errored: " + JSON.stringify(e.error));
       }
   });
   
   Ti.App.iOS.addEventListener("continueactivity",function(e){
       //console.log(JSON.stringify(e));
       alert(JSON.stringify(e));
   });

steps to test

1. launch app with sample code 2. exit app, in spotlight key in the keywords like 'titanium' 3. select the corresponding app result

Expected Result

App should open with message dialog containing information of the search item. [~bhatfield] please consider this for the spotlight docs.
