10.4: Spotlight's rules for indexing plain text files
Ok, it should work. Check with GetFileInfo if the Orders file indeed has type TEXT and then run "mdimport -d1 Orders".

Nuts. That's a good point. I guess I'll have to wait for someone to hack Thunderbird. I have lots of personal mail saved there and the search just sucks. It would be nice to have them indexed.
10.4: Spotlight's rules for indexing plain text files
You don't need to wait. I use the autosave extension in Thunderbird that automatically saves incoming messages into individual .eml files. The methods discussed here could be used to index the .eml files as plain text, but the problem is that Thunderbird has a longstanding bug that prevents it from properly opening .eml files when they're double-clicked. So Spotlight would return the proper .eml file, but you'd have to use a text editor to open it.

Apple's 'dirty hack' was to save each mail message as a separate file. In iCal they still have a single file per calendar, but the cache folder gets a new file for every entry. |
