[OS X TeX] status of Spotlight indexing of .tex files?

[Keith Chugg]

I see similarly odd behavior using spotlight for tex files and  
internal tag-words.  If I spotlight "\begin{figure}" I get a number  
of hits.  But, I can believe that there should be many more and the  
ones that I am seeing are those that have been transfered from a  
different OS.

I created a file called "foo.tex" with one line inside "foobar is  
bad".  If I spotlight "foo", the top hit is foo.tex.  If I spotlight  
"foobar" I get no hits.

It seem that spotlight gives odd behavior lots of time, not just with  
tex files...
