I have an application whose document format is a file-package with
a proprietary extension containing multiple stock .rtfd files.
I would like for Spotlight to be able to find these standard
documents without needing to write a metadata importer for them.
The handiest thing would be some sort of attribute or flag that
simply said "look inside this package instead of treating it as an
opaque file". But I can't seem to find this concept in the docs
anywhere.
I don't believe this will work. The document bundles are not
recursed through.
Does SpotLight use/respect filter services? If I create a
NSIdentity filter for my document "file" that equates it to a type
of package (like rtfd) that Spotlight, et al are happy to search
inside, should Spotlight then index the contents of my documents?
(assuming, of course, that I make the inside of the package look at
least a little like a RTFD file)
I don't know that Spotlight searches inside rtfd packages either.
