Spotlight Snooping other user accounts - stop it

I have multiple user account on my machine.
How can I prevent Spotlight from snooping and reporting on other users' files.

I tried using the "Privacy" feature, but apparently you must have write permission in a directory in order to ask Spotlight to not snoop that directory.

In other words, user1 could not prevent spotlight from reporting all the readable files in user2 account.

MACBOOK, Mac OS X (10.4.8)
