Right, on the Mac you search by MacType, since the extension is
ignored.  I don't think RS has any choice about this, assuming
they're hooking into OS-level filtering routines.  That's
probably why it's not documented in the RB docs--they're just
using whatever the OS gives them.  But you're right, it's a
frequent source of confusion, and the docs would be more helpful
if they included a note about that.
