I am developing a Spotlight plugin for PSD files that can search in the text of the PSD file also. I want to add the kind: keyword to the plugin to narrow the search results.

My question is: Can we add a custom kind: keyword to Spotlight plugins? If yes, will they work in the same manner as the default keywords?

It's not entirely clear what you're asking. I think by kind: you're referring to the kMDItemKind metadata attribute.

If so, then yes, you can definitely expose this in your Spotlight importer. You can expose any of the standard metadata keys or define new ones of your own.
