I\'m not sure if this is related, but Alfred is having a similar problem. For some reason, Spotlight is now indexing iCal \".ics\" files as text files (as of 10.7.2). I\'m starting to thing that something in changed in the overall way spotlight is looking at data. ## ron — [Oct 18, 2011 06:59 pm](https://my.remarkbox.com/42d7ba03-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501/fixing-spotlight-indexing-of-markdown-content-brettterpstra-com#42d7ba05-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501) I should learn to finish the first cup of coffee before typing in the morning\... ## Brett — [Oct 19, 2011 04:30 am](https://my.remarkbox.com/42d7ba03-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501/fixing-spotlight-indexing-of-markdown-content-brettterpstra-com#42d7ba06-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501) I think it could be related.

Really not sure yet. --- **Source:** [https://my.remarkbox.com/42d7ba04-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501](https://my.remarkbox.com/42d7ba04-4208-11e9-9d31-040140774501) **Snapshot:** 2026-05-07T19:21:59Z **Generator:** Remarkbox `763cacb`
