Searching for audio files in the Browser

Question

Hi,
I've recently ripped all of my SFX libraries to AIFF files but am having some trouble with using the Search functionality of the Browser.
When ripping the CDs, I wrote an Applescript to pull the descriptions from a spreadsheet and put it in the Spotlight Comment for each file. This works great for Spotlight searches from Finder but seems to be next-to-useless for Soundtrack (Pro) as it only seems to find results based on filenames.
Then I tried a different approach. I wrote another Applescript to copy the Spotlight Comment for each file and paste it into the Comment field in the metadata for each file (via iTunes). Again, this works great in Finder using a Spotlight search but makes no difference to the results in Soundtrack.
Each time I re-indexed my files within Soundtrack (as a side note, does anyone know where this indexing information gets stored? I'd like to have a look at it)
I briefly had a look at Appleloop Utility but it seems to offer nothing apart from vague categorisation of the files.
Can anyone explain what the search function within Soundtrack actually searches or see where I'm going wrong or offer some help?
Thanks,
Neil

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it are subfolders representing your Mail accounts. The names refer to the email addresses you use.
Enter Time Machine and scroll back to the snapshot you want. Select the account folders you want and then select  Restore ... to... from the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the snapshot window. Restore the folders to the Desktop, not to their original location.
From the Mail menu bar, select
          File ▹ Import Mailboxes...
Choose Apple Mail as the format and import from the mailboxes in the folders you restored to the Desktop. The imported messages will appear in a new mailbox. Move the ones you want to keep wherever you like and delete the rest. Then delete the folders on the Desktop.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
