Whilst I realise one can exclude certain categories in Spotlight Preferences, is there any way I can add a new one and direct Spotlight only to search there?

I have hundreds of docs that I need to cross reference with different search phrases but I don't want Spotlight to search all Documents for the phrases as it will pick up too many matches to be of use. Seems the simplest way would be to copy all my target docs into a new category and direct Spotlight appropriately.

Resolved: Found an application called Fox Trot Pro which works a storm. http://www.ctmdev.com/
