Maybe I do not understand the man page. But I can not find there any  
hint how to enable mdimport to grab all the sty, engine and lco  
(letter class option) files without using an importer plugin. But that  
I do not possess.

The most curious is, that Spotlight can find all those files when  
searching for them by Cmd+F in the Finder. But doesn't when using the  
lens in the menue bar. So I think it's not a problem of importing the  
files into the meta database. It's an issue of displaying the files in  
the lens list.

Right?

HTH and kind regards, Friedrich
