My feeble brain seems to suggest that Mac OS find-by-content will

Am I right?
If so, is there any way to enable such a feature?
Off-topic, it also appears that find-by-content doesn't find text in
Stickies, either. I always assumed it would, but never bothered to
check, until today.
Both items are inconvenient. Normally, I expect more of Apple, and
Apple usually delivers.
Usually the vendor has to adjust their app to make spotlight indexing
'Allowed' and 'visible'. Some vendors have created plugins and made
them available for download.
Google "spotlight nabble revolution" to get a better take on the issue.
For OSX QuickView, their are plugins for expanding the formats, eg.
'.php' files
The best solution for now is to have an LC script export to a text
file all the info you would like to have Spotlight available.
Hope this helps
