It seems DEVONthink 3 stores its Spotlight cache in the folder "{home
folder}/Library/Metadata/com.devon-technologies.think3". Adding this folder
to the indexed locations should let FoxTrot find your DEVONthink files. As
the Library folder from you home folder is invisible, type command-shift-G
in the folder selection dialog, and type ~/Library to reveal it.
You can also select the predefined location "Library", but this may index
other files as well.
