Wow. Apple didn't design an interface to suit your individual tastes in
every particular. Boo hoo.
Wow. Apple didn't bother to design an interface consistent with their
own conventions...
... you know, as in Finder and Spotlight work the same way... the
benighted Mac UI 'consistency' that's supposed to permeate throughout
the "Mac experience."

They *did* make it consistent. It's Steve who wants it made inconsistent
such that right-clicking a menu item behaves differently in the
Spotlight menu than anywhere else.

I don't want to right-click anything. I want to
be able to drag items from the Spotlight results
list to the trash can.

Can you drag anything from any other menu?

From the Spotlight window, you *can* drag items to the trash. I just did
it.
