Summary:
It is documented that -[NSMetadataQuery searchItems] property should define query's scope. 

> Use this method to scope the metadata query to a collection of existing URLs and/or metadata items. This array contains the NSURL and/or NSMetadataItem items to be searched.

However, the scope is not narrowed by the searchItems from a property. Not matter what valid URL is added to the list, it is ignored. Setting the same filter with the predicate works as expected.

Steps to Reproduce:
NSMetadataQuery *query = [[NSMetadataQuery alloc] init];
[query setSearchItems:@[itemURL]];
[query setSearchScopes:@[NSMetadataQueryUbiquitousDocumentsScope]];
[query startQuery]

// wait for NSMetadataQueryGatheringProgressNotification

Expected Results:
The -[NSMetadataQuery results] array is narrowed to the searchItems defined for the query.

Actual Results:
-[NSMetadataQuery results] contains all items for the container.
