Not sure why this does not work for you.

Tweaking the com.ctmdev.foxtrot Aliases preference won't work, as .rtfd files are in fact folders containing a .rtf file and embedded images, so trying to parse a folder as a file will have an unexpected behavior.

Did you rebuild your index after resetting this preferences? Also, please note that beginning with FoxTrot 7.1, these command line preferences should be set to the com.ctmdev.FoxTrotShared domain, instead of com.ctmdev.FoxTrot or com.ctmdev.FoxTrotPro depending if the preference is specific or not to FoxTrot Professional or Personal. Preferences previously set for the legacy domains should have been automatically transferred to com.ctmdev.FoxTrotShared, so to reset the Alias preference, type:
defaults delete com.ctmdev.FoxTrotShared Aliases
Also delete the preference in the other domains as well, just in case:
defaults delete com.ctmdev.FoxTrot Aliases
defaults delete com.ctmdev.FoxTrotPro Aliases
Is "word processor" enabled, in the "index contents of files" list of the "indexed data" tab?
Which items are enabled in the "including" popup menu? Note that if "files inside packages" AND "also include files inside spotlight-supported packages", then the .rtf file (as well as the image files) embedded inside the .rtfd package should be indexed in addition to the .rtfd package itself.
