It does not. What you want to use is that little magnifying glass in the upper
right of your screen in the menu bar. Command-F in the Finder only searches for
the contents of files, but not I think Address Book files and such.
Still using this method, I am not seeing any of my stacks after
I may have found a solution for this but to test it I need to know what the
file type is (not the filename extension) of a LiveCode stack. Anyone?

Thanks Jim and others.
I have worked out ways to search my LC stacks quickly and
one way to see filetypes is the detailed files.
another way is to go into the ressource fork yourself with the resfile:
specifier for URL:
put url (resfile: the effective filename of this stack)

Are you referring to the Mac file type code? It's RSTK. The creator signature

Well the solutions presented in blogs i have seen are not panning out. Oddly,
zip files containing Livecode stacks ARE being found by Spotlight, but not the
stacks themselves.
I think this will require the Livecode people to create a valid mdimporter file
for livecode stacks.

I forced Spotlight to re-index. Now it finds-by-content all of the stuff in
Apple applications it couldn't previously find. Sorry about the confusion.
For most purposes, exporting LC data to a text file so Spotlight could find it
by content would be far more trouble than it was worth. Certainly

My feeble brain seems to suggest that Mac OS find-by-content will not find text
in an ordinary field in a LiveCode stack (not to mention a button or script). I
just tried it. OTOH, I don't have much confidence in my feeble brain.
Am I right?
If so, is there any way to enable such a feature

-by-content in Mac OS, was available as a
last resort if I couldn't find something important. Today I was searching for
some notes I made several months ago. I couldn't remember whether I had saved
the notes in a LC stack, in stickies, in an email I sent to myself, or
whatever. I thought find-by-content

Hi Stephen,
As far as I know, Command-F and Spotlight invokes the same functionality.
In my previous message, I mentioned that find by content is not finding content
in Safari Bookmarks, my saved email messages in Mail, and so on. This, I
discovered by trial and error, and I assumed it was a
