[OS X TeX] Spotlight plug in

[George Gratzer]

Herb,

You are right, it was not in /Library/Spotlight/. I put it there and  
things are better.

But not perfect. The .tex files are mixed in with the documents.

Example: I introduced the concept of "pasting" in lattice theory. I  
would like to find all my (.tex) paper where this concept is used.  
Spotlight lists them in a huge list of "Documents" (826 entries), 95%  
of which is not .tex.

Is there any way to get what I want?
