Hi,

If you do a web search for “blacklisted Spotlight importer plugin”, you’ll get 
many results that find this line in logs that have been posted on the web:

2/26/15 8:13:13.987 AM mds[33]: (ImportServer.Normal:1700) Ignoring blacklisted 
Spotlight importer 
plugin:/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight/SourceCode.mdimporter
 uuid:548A3091-3C5D-498A-A329-B532A6C896BB version:1801

I have the very same line in my own system.log.

My questions are:

1. Does SourceCode.mdimporter come from Apple? I don’t recall installing it on 
my machine.
2. Should I delete it from my machine? Is it malicious?
3. Are there other blacklisted Spotlight importer plugins? If so, how do we 
find out?

Thanks for helping clear up this mystery, there is no write up on this subject 
that I could find on the web.
