Don't search just file names
Spotlight doesn't just search file names. It searches the contents of email messages, it knows who sent you email, it can look through the contact information in your Address Book, images and graphics, calendars and events and to-do lists, System Preferences, PDF text, the contents of TextEdit pages (but not text clippings), even iChat logs (if you previously chose to log them).
