Is there a way to save the view preferences in a spotlight result window (the window you get by selecting "Show All" from the spotlight results)? For example I like to make it larger than it comes up by default, and increase the size of the icons a little. How can I save it so that it comes up larger like this every time?

Also, if I add in custom fields like "include system files", is there a way to have it automatically apply those upon "Show All" as well?

I must not be the only one who thinks that Leopard's spotlight window is 1000x worse than it was in Tiger. In Tiger it was actually really useful and well laid out. In Leopard it's just a mess.
