Hello to all, very shortly after my post, I received a fully functional plugin that was developed by Carlos Ungil which is based on a LISP source code plugin for Spotlight originally written by John Wiseman.
With this new plugin, "R" source file contents are now perfectly indexed in Spotlight. Spotlight will find "Program.R" file contents based on functions or any text in the R file. Note that files with R extension = (eg Program.R) are recognized with a "com.apple.rez-source" UTI, so the programmer made sure his plugin would not interfere with the Apple UTI. The file can be downloaded from: http://ungil.com/R-Metadata-Importer.zip 1) Copy the R Metadata Importer.mdimporter file into the /Library/ Spotlight folder 2) Force Spotlight to reimport (index) the R files with this command in Terminal = mdimport -r /Library/Spotlight/R\ Metadata\ Importer.mdimporter I tested this on my Mac and it works great! This is a very useful and fun contribution to "R" for Mac! I hope this gets integrated in the install package so that all "Mac" R users can benefit from it! Thank you!
