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.
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)
