In a Cocoa app of mine I do use NSMetadataQuery with
<kMDItemTextContent LIKE "u_versionToString"> and setSearchScopes:
{some array including "/usr/local/include").
I know that two files in my /usr/local/include do contain the string
"u_versionToString".
Nothing is found. Probably because Spotlight in it's infinite wisdom
did decide not to confuse me with stuff in /usr.
(Wouldn't it be nice if Spotlight had some preference like "Unix
Expert" (like the good old NextStep had) ? But I digress).
Ok, so I did:
mdimport /usr/local/include
A second later my query gets updated, the files for which I was
looking appear and all is fine.
Until I open one of these files in some Editor.
The moment I do this, my query gets updated again, and the just opened
file disappears.
And reappears when I do "mdimport /usr/local/include" again.
Silly and rather annoying game.
Question:
Is this a pure Spotlight problem (and so probably even off-topic in
this list) or can I do something in my app to avoid this?

Kind regards,
Gerriet.
