Changing OS X Spotlight priorities for specific applications

spotlight

I'd like to fiddle with Spotlight's priorities so that when I enter 'photo', my first returned result is Adobe Photoshop, and not Photo Booth.

I understand how to change priorities for or disable entire file types, but I'd rather just remove Photo Booth from Spotlight search.

Failing that, I could just delete Photo Booth. I don't use it. I think Photo Booth can't normally be deleted on Lion, so what's the command to delete it via Terminal?

Have been running into this myself, and I decided to tweak a little. Here's what I ended up with...

Open the photoshop directory through applications. 'Get info' on the Photoshop executable. 'Cmd + i' or right click and choose) Top field is 'spotlight comments', type a text shortcut that suits you, I used 'phos' Close the info window. Open up spotlight and use the shortcut you chose.
