I noticed that when I search for "Music" (for example) using Spotlight on the iPhone OS 3.0, the app "Midomi" shows up in the Spotlight results. "Midomi" doesn't exactly match "Music", but yet it appears in the results.
How can I specify additional keywords for my app so it appears when doing a search using Spotlight, like Midomi is doing?

To do this, open the “Settings” app and go to the “Siri & Search” section. Here, scroll down until you find the app that you want to remove from the Spotlight search results and then tap on its listing. Now, select the toggle next to the “Show In Search” option to remove it from search results.
To access the Spotlight search interface, go to your iPhone or iPad's home screen and swipe to the right. You'll find the Spotlight search interface to the left of the primary home screen. You can also touch somewhere in the grid of apps on any homescreen and swipe your finger downwards.
Type an app's first letters, and it will show up in the results, letting you open that app immediately. However, if a particular app isn't appearing in Search, that's because you or someone with access to your iPhone excluded that app from search results.
To change where new apps get downloaded on your iPhone, or to show or hide the notifications that you see in the App Library: Go to Settings > Home Screen. Select an option such as Add to Home Screen or App Library Only.
Midomi's full name is Midomi Music Identifier and Search (Ultra). Therefore the search term 'music' will cause Spotlight to list the Midomi application. Spotlight searches both names as they appear in SpringBoard (your home screen) and their full App Store names.
(I don't know what else Spotlight searches in, but I do know it looks at these two names.)
