Sorry for the empty post.
Here is my little question:

I'm running Spell Catcher X 10.3.4 and Mac OS X 10.6.2.

How can I disable automatic suggestions when typing in Spotlight and hiting space?

"Since you cant pull down the Input menu while Spotlight's search field is visible, the best way to do it is simply press the keyboard shortcut for the Interactive Checking command (command-control-i by default) after clicking the Spotlight icon to show it."

"Open Spell Catcher Preferences, Interactive pane, Typing tab. View the Applications drawer, click the [+] to add an app, navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices, scroll down to see the Spotlight app, add it to the list."

Both are not working for me. The latter because there is no Spotlight.app at this place.

Thank you.

On Snow Leopard, Spotlight's user interface is handled by SystemUIServer. So same folder (/System/Library/CoreServices), just add SystemUIServer.

I had the same question but I'm using Mac OS 10.5.8
Any help in pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The answer is in the very first post - add /System/Library/CoreServices/Spotlight app.
