Comment on Fsearch, a fast file search utility for Unix-like systemsparent

if you do not have the "show all file extensions" enabled, `.md` query in spotlight will not show up anything.

try without extension. (eg: just the name)

I even have scripts to locate other scripts using mdfind, it is pretty robust to be honest...

Eg:

    source $(mdfind -name spacelatte-bashlib.sh)

It also doesn’t work without the extension. It does work on my work laptop, so I expect that something is broken with my index. But this is also part of the problem. The whole thing is opaque, breaks, and offers no clear recourse for how to resolve any issues.
