That's very interesting. I don't get any actual script items returned
through that search except scripts that are saved as text files. If my
Spotlight is messed up, I surely would like to know how to fix it. And
please don't tell me to rebuild the spotlight index with terminal commands
starting with things like "mdutil -E" or even to delete the .Spotlight-V100
folder from the root directory of my boot partition. I do those things
fairly routinely. And I upgraded to Leopard using a clean install and
Migration Assistant method, not an upgrade install.
Here are the contents of my Spotlight folders including those from the
system domain and from the user domain:
AppleWorks.mdimporter
GBSpotlightImporter.mdimporter
iWeb.mdimporter
Keynote.mdimporter
Microsoft Entourage.mdimporter
Microsoft Office.mdimporter
Numbers.mdimporter
Pages.mdimporter
FontMDI.mdimporter
tarimporter.mdimporter
WeblocImporter.mdimporter
WordPerfect.mdimporter
Ziplight.mdimporter
I have installed Leopard developer tools, but I notice that I do not have
"SourceCode.mdimporter" since doing so, so I assume it's no longer needed
for Leopard.
AFAIK I have never had a Spotlight file contents search return a script
file. If the spotlight results window in list view contains the word
"Applescript" in the "Kind" column, it also contains the word "text" right
beside it. Do you indeed have "Applescript" kind results other than
"Applescript text"? Is there a Script Debugger Spotlight plug-in or
something else along those lines that you might have and I don't?
