Hi All,
First time poster here.
I like the idea of Spotlight, but find it a little limiting in its
default configuration. It seems to index the content of plain text
(.txt) files, but not other plain text files (ie ones that don't have a
.txt extension). Is there a way to coax Spotlight into seeing, for
example, files with a .cgi extension as a plain text file so that its
contents are indexed and included when searching?
This would be very, very helpful to me and I'm sure many others. I
don't think this requires a new importer be written, as Spotlight
already knows how to handle .txt files; it just needs to be "tricked"
into seeing other file types as plain text, too.
Thanks in advance,
Jake
