You're gonna love this - Spotlight is hard-wired to ignore the /
Developer/ADC Reference Library folder when indexing. It will
not get indexed, and you will not be able to content-search it
at *all* using Spotlight. Apple has apparently assumed that the
XCode doc search is good enough and you would never, ever need
to use Spotlight to search the developer docs. Isn't that great?
I put an alias to the ADC Reference Library in my ~/Documents
folder, and when I do a Spotlight search, I get results back
from /Developer/..

Are you sure you are finding the contents of files and not just
the filenames? Because that definitely does not work when I try
it. You can find filenames (i.e. searching for "NSString" will
turn up NSString.html), but not for contents of files that are not
in the filename.

If I do a Spotlight search on, let's say, CFBundleIdentifier, I
get an instantaneous (it seems!) result ..
choices include files such as
MidiDriver.html
file:///Developer/Examples/CoreAudio/Documentation/CoreMIDI/
MIDIDriver/MIDIDriver.html
and if you open that file, you'll see
Driver bundle/plug-in properties
A driver's bundle settings should include settings resembling the
following:
Bundle settings:
CFBundleIdentifier String
com.mycompany.midi.driver.mydevice
(note that this will be the driver's persistent ID in
MIDISetup's)
CFPlugInDynamicRegistration String NO
And is the file you found in the ADC Reference Library folder? No,
it's not! ADC Reference Library is the folder that doesn't get
indexed. Try searching for something which would be found in there,
like "stringWithString", and see if you turn up anything. Other
folders in /Developer do get indexed, except, I think, for /Developer/
Documentation. This is because searching through stub header files
that contain nothing but one #include statement is very handy and
useful, but searching through developer documentation is *obviously*
something that no one would *ever* want to do.
