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?

Off-topic, it also appears that find-by-content doesn't find text in Stickies, either. I always assumed it would, but never bothered to check, until today.

Both items are inconvenient. Normally, I expect more of Apple, and Apple usually delivers.



Usually the vendor has to adjust their app to make spotlight indexing 'Allowed' and 'visible'. Some vendors have created plugins and made them available for download.

Google "spotlight nabble revolution" to get a better take on the issue.

For OSX QuickView, their are plugins for expanding the formats, eg. '.php' files

The best solution for now is to have an LC script export to a text file all the info you would like to have Spotlight available.

Hope this helps
