Finally, I found a HACK! I had write a blog post about this hack, you can find more details here(written in Chinese).

For your convenience, I translated the key steps to english and put it here:

  1. Edit ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.spotlight.plist (You may need to install Xcode, because this is a binary plist, or you can download a modified file in the post above)

  2. Within orderedItems node, add a Dictionary item, key-values is:

    enabled: YES (boolean), name: “MENU_DEFINITION” (string)

  3. Save the plist file

  4. Open System Preferences -> Spotlight, you will find a blank entry, this is what we had added above. You can drag it like other entries to change the order as you like

  5. You are done!

Now try type a word in spotlight and see what happened.

Sorry I can't post images....You can click to see the screenshot
