Am I right?

If so, is there any way to enable such a feature?

IIRC (I turned off Spotlight years ago; got tired of the constant disk thrashing), LiveCode scripts are automatically indexed by Spotlight, but not field content.

I have no idea why that's how it is; seems a bit backwards to me, but maybe there's a reason for it.

Anyone know offhand if there's an RQCC request for indexing fields w/Spotlight?
