No results with my custom documents during spotlight search


  • Subject: No results with my custom documents during spotlight search

I've noticed a disconcerting problem with my Spotlight metadata importer on Leopard. Spotlight queries no longer return my own documents although the content matches the query.

While this may seem like a simple mdimporter problem, my custom mdimporter appears to be working fine. Running mdimport -L shows my importer in the list, and the importer is correctly identifying my files, their document types and my associated importer. In fact, manually running mdimport at any of the debug levels on the files correctly and as far as I can tell successfully extracts their metadata. Terminal output matches what my mdimporter should produce.

Nevertheless, the documents still fail to show up during a Spotlight query, even after manually running mdimport with a reported success.

In terms of regression, the same importer continues to work fine on Tiger.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

-Phil
