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?
